Hey everyone, I was wondering if the Bloodmalice Layered Armor was already available for PS5/4. According to this video by RageGaming: https://youtu.be/UHwnLLrjoeY it looks like it’s been released, but when I try to log in and get the event quest, it’s nowhere to be found. Did I miss anything? If so, what should I do about it?

I'm preferably looking for the 2023 codes from my ISO list. My ISO list is at the bottom of the list, titles in bold are my top wants.

Immortality defies the gods.
Last City Of Man stood in bleak sandblown towers before the Mad Swordsman in its tattered rags. The towering tarnished machine limped forward, dragging its sword-arm with its remaining limb. The brown robes covering the giant whipped in fluttering tatters and its hood shaded the cracked black orb that was its face.
"All dead. The enemy follows, as I bring the message of doom." Mad Swordsman laughed to itself as it went.
In the city it went, through the opening gates. There in the center of the calming wind storm stood Law Givers. These men and women were paid by tax revenue to read the laws written on the pillar in the center of the city. Each faced a different direction, loudly reciting Law.
The city was divided into districts, each within another, with an avenue that bisected the city in one direction, while the river it commanded bisected it in the other direction. At its heart stood the stronghold of its king. He was the only man in the city that was fertile. All the other men were castrated during childhood and partnered to a girl, betrothed. Yet when they were married, it was the king that took the bride on a honeymoon.
"It isn't madness? Would I recognize madness?" Mad Swordsman listened as the law was described. It decided that the laws of this final city were insane laws. All the taxes and mutilations. Every crime was punished the same way: by cutting off the offending body part. Sometimes just having that body part was a crime, apparently.
"What are you doing here, giant?" King Gamma asked. He had with him his army. Some had spears or clubs, others had bows and bronze axes, still a few had rusted assault rifles swathed in leather or painted rocket launchers decorated in fetishes. Their armor was similarly arranged from grass shields, sports padding or chainmail to patched flak jackets. Mad Swordsman decided they were only minimal adversaries. With a sweep of its weapon or a sudden tumbling roll it could wipe them out instantly. It hadn't come to the city to fight humans.
"I forgot." Mad Swordsman chuckled.
"Do you want repairs? You must do something for me." King Gamma pointed to the desocketed sword-arm it was dragging. The left hand of the giant robot was a massive sword forged of some metal from the Pool Of Time, near the Temple Of Humanity, far away and long ago. Such things could not be made anymore.
"I want repairs. I must do something for me." Mad Swordsman responded.
"No, for me." King Gamma pointed to himself. "For King Gamma you will serve."
"Mad Swordsman serves no king." Mad Swordsman laughed. "Have you not heard my song in the ruins of the cities? Will you see my shadow before you in the wastelands? I wander and here to there I go. I wonder, my little king with a big heart, do you know?" Mad Swordsman spoke and dropped the sword-arm, gesturing with its freed hand as it spoke poetically.
"You insolent robot! I should have you shot from the walls with imp's needles." King Gamma was turning red faced and angry.
"I see those EMP harpoons you just mentioned." Mad Swordsman looked up and saw two huge crossbows meant for disabling giant robots. It wondered if two would be enough to take it down. It might be.
"You think those will just tickle?" King Gamma laughed angrily. Mad Swordsman started laughing the same way. One of the king's advisors said something to him. He stopped and reconsidered the towering robot, staring up at it. When he had calmed down and thought he gestured for Mad Swordsman to sit.
The machine obeyed. Pleased that the advice he had gotten was solid: he rewarded his advisor with praise and put him in charge of the machine.
"I am Leer. I'd follow me and get repairs, unless I wanted to fall to pieces with sand in my gears and my robes in tatters. Such a tarnished surface. You were once called Silver Swordsman, were you not? You have no gleam." Leer told the robot.
"Those are fun words." Mad Swordsman got up and hefted its sword-arm over its shoulder.
"Then come with me." Leer led the machine into the heart of the city. There was a great library there. Scribes worked day and night by electric light and had recorded information about all things on millions of scrolls of recycled paper. Atop the library was a satellite dish. The gates of bronze were opened and the giant in the brown tattered robe came into the heart of the city, its vast library.
"I shall have to have a look inside. I wonder if the information you have included the Serum of Everlasting Life among other great secrets from ancient times." Leer brought out a cable that he could connect to the inside of Mad Swordsman, to its brain.
"Couldn't I just tell you?" Mad Swordsman chuckled.
"Could you?" Leer stopped for a moment, waiting for that.
"No." Mad Swordsman laughed. "I forgot all that stuff a long time ago. One too many of those robot-eating plants zapped me. You know?" Mad Swordsman knocked on the side of its upper body. It didn't really have a head, just the black orb of sensors and ambient energy intake for a face.
"Let me take a look. It might still be in there." Leer was opening the sealed access panel on the robot with a plasma cutting tool. If it could cut diamonds it could cut the flesh of an empathical. This kind of robot was the most advanced, a machine built by machines, it was nearly indestructible, supposedly.
"That really hurts a lot." Mad Swordsman told him. "Keep doing it because I like pain. Making myself sit here while you do that makes me feel sane. The searing agony makes me feel alive. The trust in a stranger makes me feel holy. Right now I feel as close to God as I ever have."
"You sure are weird." Leer laughed.
"I sure am." Mad Swordsman laughed also and then howled in the torment of its sensitive nerves being burned.
"This will be dangerous. Our minds will touch briefly and the spark of that, in the waves of consciousness that is the fabric of the world, we might cease to exist. Both of us." Leer put on the crown of cables and wore it.
"You want the Serum of Everlasting Life so badly?" Mad Swordsman asked.
"I believe so, yes." Leer stated.
"I will try to help you inside my mind. Be careful, we only have one instant." Mad Swordsman sounded wise to some kind of irony.
"How long will that seem?" Leer worried.
"That depends on how long you have got. Until you break inside your mind, you will not know mine." Mad Swordsman swore.
"It's too late." Leer's eyes rolled back into his head and he jerked as the connection seized up and down his spine painfully. The first thing he was aware of was the phantom pain of the burn. It felt like someone had burned him painfully behind his ear and plugged something into his spine through his neck.
"See my residual self-image." Mad Swordsman stood as a brown robed monk, or at least as the robes of the monk. Only a metal skeleton hid beneath. A grinning skull of silver and long bone fingers of silver. It stood only as tall as the man, or the man stood as tall as the machine. From the perspective of the machine: size was an illusion. Leer noticed he looked exactly the same.
"I look the same." Leer said.
"No you don't. I see you how you see yourself inside your mind. It's not what you look like." Mad Swordsman laughed hysterically after it said this. "You look ridiculous."
"I am already starting to regret this." Leer grumbled. He followed Mad Swordsman through the fogs of memory to some kind of glass city. "What is this place?"
"I don't know what to call it." Mad Swordsman looked around and shrugged. "There is the first place to try: a recent memory."
Terror gripped the man, then. He felt the swift cutting bite. The rending of flesh, no mercy, so much anger being unleashed. So much terror and pain caused. Far worse than the root of the evil. Yet shining there was the jewel he sought.
He watched in a frustrated discord of emotions as Mad Swordsman followed the angry woman's pointing finger. Where she pointed the blade cut a man in half, over and over. Their screams and their blood spray kept happening until it became comical. He was laughing and it felt like vomiting. It was painful, heaving laughter at the sight of the executions. There was almost a musical perfection to the giant's swordplay as it danced with great speed and strength, slashing its blade through each opponent.
When they were all dead the woman and the giant left the cave behind. What was the cave? Leer felt his head spinning. On the walls of the cave were the paintings of different prehistoric animals. Outside stood offroad vehicles retrofitted with armor and weapons. "The Caves of Scane."
Leer fell to the dust and laughed. There was no such place. They might as well have hidden the Serum in the ruins of Casark. There simply was no such place.
"What have you seen? Does the truth frighten you?" Mad Swordsman knelt and put a silver hand on the tickled man in the dust.
"What is that?" Leer's eyes became silent, a terror beyond what a mind can handle. Somehow the tipping of the scales put his ego into a freefall. How small and humble a man can be when he sees a hole in the sky.
"That has no name. It is not something that can be described with eyesight alone. Perhaps you see, in the blue sky, a curtain that is the night sky, except there are no stars. What you see is reality, it is the real-reality. You know instinctively what it is and what it implies to see it there, like that." Mad Swordsman rambled strangely and then laughed merrily at the revelation.
"It is nothing. It is just a dream. A hallucination inside the mind of an insane computer." Leer protested.
"Ah such are all unacceptable memories, I am certain." Mad Swordsman sounded bemused. Its grinning silver skull gleamed under the monk's hood.
"Who is she?" Leer pointed to the statue of the angel that stood towering above the mist.
"I am an empathical and she is my mother. Do you not call upon your own mother in times of great need? Even if she is not there or could not save the hero Gilgamesh, always the quest is for mom." Mad Swordsman sounded proud and its empty eyesockets reflected the great statue.
"The hero Gilgamesh? Is that how you see us? We live on the brink of extinction." Leer's lip quivered angrily.
"Don't cry; they will grow back." Mad Swordsman reached and pointed to the door of memories it wanted to check for the Serum. Unlike the memories there was a cold wind and a world beyond.
They stood there upon the frozen wastes surrounding the Temple Of Humanity. Mad Swordsman stood there with its tarnished silver, partially peeled from the scouring ice winds, revealing tortured silver flesh beneath. Its warm robes were again like a tattered brown cape, the hood still shielding its dark domed face. It had gotten its repairs and now had two left arms as sword-arms and held another, smaller sword in its right hand.
"It's freezing here! How can it feel so cold in a memory?" Leer shouted over the winds. Beside him stood the same giant he had met in the Last City Of Man: the one-armed Mad Swordsman. The other stood there in front of them, frozen.
"This place is not a memory. Remember that spark you mentioned? Well, here we are, on the other side of that divide. You shouldn't play with such things." Mad Swordsman laughed maniacally. The other empathical began to move.
"Who are you?" It demanded of Mad Swordsman.
"I am Unit Three Sixteen." Mad Swordsman identified itself between laughter.
"That is impossible. I am Unit Three Sixteen." The other giant robot said.
"You are a paradox. I just got here, so it must be me that is supposed to be here." Mad Swordsman told it.
"That makes no sense." Unit Three Sixteen told Mad Swordsman.
Without warning, Mad Swordsman suddenly slashed with its own severed sword-arm. The reflexes of the frozen empathical were not fully activated and it was off-guard. The first blow damaged one of its legs. Now both combatants were limping the exact same way. It was like watching them square off in a mirror, except one of them had three arms and the other only had one arm.
They exchanged heavy blows and deflected the attacks or dodged them without fail. One strike from the fatal blade would erupt one of them in a blue ball of fire. Unit Three Sixteen splashed backward into Pool Of Time and stood there for a moment, contemplating the entanglement and the duel rationally. Its crazed opponent splashed in after, swinging wildly and unable to reach the alternate variant of itself. Both of them began to sink, staring menacingly at their own reflection on the black dome of the other.
"Wait, wait! Don't leave me here!" Leer rushed after them and just as they were starting to vanish he stepped in after them. He opened his eyes, the crown of cables had come off and he'd fallen on the floor.
"I feel different." Mad Swordsman told him.
"The Caves of Scane, where are they?" Leer asked weakly while laying on the ground.
"Much closer to the ruins of Casark than any man would dare go." Mad Swordsman giggled menacingly.
"Does this place really exist?" Leer wondered imploringly.
"Do you or I exist? Is this reality somehow more real than the one we were just a part of?" Mad Swordsman questioned merrily. "The place really exists."
"We shall see the king." Leer realized out-loud. He took his robot to the king and explained he wanted to set out for the ruins of Casark.
King Gamma assembled his army of one hundred and sixty soldiers in bronze armor and the same warriors he had brought earlier to fight the robot also. This made the expedition quite massive. They had chariots and wagons and camels also. Mad Swordsman told Leer it would take longer, with so many following, to get there.
"Consider the anima of so many disciplined men with you." Leer tried optimism.
"I am considering that also. When they are being eaten by mutants or dying of radiation. The ruins are hilarious." Mad Swordsman moved its repaired sword-arm. It was inferior to the original socketing, but it was better than no arm.
"You aren't laughing." Leer pointed out.
"That's because I was being sarcastic." Mad Swordsman snickered. "The ruins aren't really funny."
"Nobody else thought it was a joke." King Gamma interjected from horseback as they journeyed across the scorched earth.
"That's not true, now is it?" Mad Swordsman argued with a clownish tone-of-voice.
"How dare you infer that his majesty is a liar!" Leer spoke up.
"That's enough. We all know this machine is insane. It wants to provoke a reaction so it can fall over laughing." King Gamma didn't take the bait so easily.
"Something wrong with that?" Mad Swordsman asked.
"Where are you leading us? What is this place?" Leer asked the giant robot. He stood in the shadow where it loomed in its brown robes.
"This is Pradesia. The ruins of Casark lie beyond." Mad Swordsman pointed with its left sword-arm. The whole army of King Gamma followed into Pradesia. The settlement they found was gutted by flames and everyone was murdered or executed on poles and crosses. It was a hellish sight, rotten for weeks.
"All of these bodies were already burned in a funeral fire. It is best not to touch them." Mad Swordsman told King Gamma. Sounding serious made the king a believer. He ordered his men to leave the bodies, to not even look at them.
"Behold the Caves of Scane." Mad Swordsman had led them all the way to Kelsov's home in the hills. All of them were dead and their vehicles sat with a layer of sand on them.
"We should take these vehicles." Leer advised.
"It is the plan that I like best." King Gamma agreed. They left the horses and chariots and some of the men behind and took the vehicles of the Finalists. Before they got very far, all of the vehicles stopped working.
"There is great entropy the closer we get to the place that is not a place. You shall see all that it can be." Mad Swordsman told King Gamma. "It is why the vehicles do not work. Because we are always closer to the darkness outside, the end of the last world. Nothing shall be and so things are becoming nothing. These cars don't work. Will your horses turn inside out if you feed them the grass of these steppes?" Mad Swordsman chuckled nervously.
"Send for the chariots." King Gamma told Leer.
So the expedition went onward until they reached the outskirts of Casark. The city sat in twisted and macabre damage. Everything that could happen to a city had happened and now only a few scattered bits still stuck into the sky, like the bent legs of a dead bug.
"This is Casark. Already some of your men are getting sick. There are animals here that are no longer like normal animals. They are horrible and twisted by being so close to the end of all things. It warps them into the likewise molecules of destruction, rewriting the physics that evolved their bodies and breaking and sucking them into new shapes as it sees them." Mad Swordsman said as it was moodily chuckling.
"The darkness here is unnatural." Gamma complained.
"Look sire, the clouds are parting. Perhaps now we shall find what we seek here." Leer smiled.
"Only death can be sought here. I don't get it." Mad Swordsman guffawed.
"What is that? What in God's name is that? Dear God!" King Gamma fell off his horse and writhed in terror at the sight of the darkness outside.
At the sight of it all his army screamed in terror. It was as though the clouds had parted to reveal only nightmare beyond, a night sky with no stars torn in the daytime sky. It had hidden behind clouds, now like a killer cloud it tore into their eyes. Some fell on their bronze swords. At least one took up a rocket launcher and fired from a chariot at the darkness. The path of the rocket traveled backwards to the soldier. It was a tendril of nothingness and he became as nothingness. He simply was no more as though he never was. There was nothing left of him, barely even a memory. Not one man who witnessed it could recall the soldier's name and soon most of them completely forgot they had seen him become as nothing.
There was still worse for the others. Like Mad Swordsman had warned them: the ruins were swarming with monsters. As the men were screaming in disarray and panic: the monsters found them and came for them. Bronze armed warriors battled hideous giant chimeras all around while others fled or were eaten alive. Tendrils from outside fished for men and when it touched them they became part of it, dissolved into nothingness. Sometimes it brushed one of its monsters and it took them too.
Soon the battle had become an orgy of blood and guts as the monsters fed and no soldiers remained. King Gamma walked among them, his hair turned white and his words maniacal and crazed.
"Go then, go to your graves you cowards!" He yelled at the splattered remains of his men.
"Your majesty, we still have Mad Swordsman!" Leer followed behind and pled with his king.
"Don't mind me. I am just here for the live comedy." Mad Swordsman was doubled over and laughing at all the carnage.
"I do mind!" King Gamma was outraged. "You kill these monsters right now. Show no mercy, use your fullest strength at your most reckless speed. My men are already dead!" King Gamma pointed and screamed. The fury of the king and his command charged up the emotitronics of the empathical with enraged anima.
"And then I rest." Mad Swordsman said after it cleaved all of the mutants in half. It had slid along, skating horribly on the slick gore and never losing its balance. The monsters stood no chance against the unrestrained machine.
"What rest is there?" King Gamma threw off his crown and ran. "What rest can there ever be when the sky is opening over the world of Ruin?"
"I know how to accept rest." Leer picked up the crown.
"I shall continue the mission, following you." Mad Swordsman told Leer.
"Then we go to our deaths." Leer realized. He walked into the empty ruins, under the eternal void, to search for the cure of immortality.
The ruins of Casark became as escalating height and chaos of twisted remains, scorched and broken. As blackened bones of the earth they stood, like cratered mountains on an asteroid, the fields burned by lava and liquid nightmare as black as ink. What bubbled from below in confused orbs of consciousness were the writhing fleshy things and wired oil dripping things of mechanical nature. All became warped by death, in sequence with a place of pure entropy, even life served to destroy and spread death. This was a cancer upon the universe. Leer could not believe it had no name.
Leer felt like the air was dead and his lungs hurt and it was like slowly suffocating. A device of flashing colors and lights, drawn from the edges of the dead universes beyond, stood testament to the efforts of higher beings. It was a kind of chaos that was intact. If entropy was fine order, if nightmares were the laws of physics, the place ahead of them was lawless and chaotic.
They found where two dead machines lay upon a flying vehicle under a covering of tarps. What mad sacrifice had left them there, instead of where they had fallen? The device had spread their light, their colors from their grave. There was, in all the chaos, a cabin in a place that knew time and order. Leer could breath and it was actual air in his lungs. He sighed and looked at the structure.
"Welcome home." Silver Swordsman told Mad Swordsman.
"If I stand before you then I am not dead under the tarp." Mad Swordsman noted without humor. It seemed to have lost its sense of humor, its madness taking on a different quality. Something too clever to be understood. Yet something totally insane.
"You are certainly one of the dead, although nobody has looked." Silver Swordsman observed.
"Good. As long as nobody notices I am dead under that tarp I should be fine. Without observation there is no paradox." Mad Swordsman stated. Then he added in the same voice as Silver Swordsman:
"This very moment in this place is a paradox. In order for us to be here we had to already arrive before we got here. We are now showing up to complete the cycle of us leaving this place, therefore the place exists."
"I didn't say that." Silver Swordsman replied.
"Except I am you from the future. I am here now and I have said it and you heard it, therefore I heard it when I was you. I did say that, you cannot say I didn't when I did. And you are me." Mad Swordsman debated.
"We have outran the sun. We are behind the sunrise." Leer realized.
"That is a good way to put it. Perhaps Junior now understands what is going on?" Mad Swordsman teased Silver Swordsman.
"I got it before you got here." Silver Swordsman said with dry, sophisticated humor.
"Oh, I get it. That is very funny." Mad Swordsman found the joke to be an excuse to laugh forcefully for five minutes. Leer sought sanctuary indoors.
Inside he found where King Gamma had fled. The place was some kind of bar. There was a table and some things to sit on and they had some bottles of alcohol they were sharing. He walked up alongside King Gamma and gave him back his crown.
"I'm Leer." Leer told the other bar people.
"Adinett." The girl said. "I just turned four hundred."
"Happy birthday. Looking very good." Leer said.
"Oh, thank you. Um." Adinett drunkenly started toward Leer until King Gamma said:
"He is a eunuch."
"You could still please me though, right?" Adinett was undeterred.
"No. I am married." Leer accepted a drink from the bartender.
"I am Solomon." The bartender introduced himself. "This is my place. I call it The House Of Dust."
"Because it is where the dead will reside." The drunk guy in the corner said.
"Who is he?" Leer asked.
"Aidan." Solomon said with a strange kind of awe and disappointment. Like meeting your idol, drunk. Literally.
"That's Aidan?" Leer's lips curled in rejection. He stared, taking a good look. Aidan flopped around drunkenly and moaned his sentences without coherence. Most of them started with words like:
"Where'z?" or "What'z" slurred into the rest of what he was saying.
"You got him shit-faced." Leer accused Solomon. Solomon shook his head.
"We just have to wait." Adinett was drunk too. Her temperament was much more alert though. Inside of her was a rage. She was an angry drunk. At least she was too drunk to lash out.
"Where you from?" Solomon asked.
"Last City Of Man" Leer told it by one of its names.
"Ur? You are with King Gamma. I mean like where do you come from?" Solomon asked.
"Eldimoor." Leer recalled. "I was born in Eldimoor."
"Nice place, Eldimoor." Solomon nodded.
"We had orchards there. I remember the orchards." Leer smiled.
"I was from Pradesia. We had paddies." Adinett said with grim sobriety.
Nobody spoke for a moment.
"This is a pocket, gravitationally reversed. We exist in a stasis of time here. The entropy does not enter except at our natural local time, here in The House Of Dust." Solomon told Leer and King Gamma.
"How did you accomplish such a thing?" Leer asked.
"I discovered it. I alone survived here when everyone else fled." Solomon explained.
"Others have come here?" King Gamma wondered. Solomon shook his head.
"Nobody has ever made it here before the Apostate." Said Solomon.
"You mean Silver Swordsman?" King Gamma had seen the giant robot already.
"All of them together are now the Apostate. That's the last intelligent thing they said." Solomon shrugged.
"I seek immortality. For my king." Leer looked at Adinett.
"They took it from Jerome's Tomb." She shifted in her seat and knocked over her drink. "I'm done drinking."
"Good girl." Solomon picked up the glass.
"It is here, somewhere." Leer sounded sure.
"In Casark? No. The Finalists used all the Serum. Then, once they were ready to live forever, I killed them all." Adinett told him. "In my sleep."
"I saw what you did." Leer informed her. "In the memories of Mad Swordsman."
"So why are you asking me then?" Adinett complained belligerently.
"This place is all the immortality there is. The world outside is chaos. In here we have a moment of quiet." Solomon advised.
"How did you discover this place?" Leer asked suddenly.
"I was standing in the street when Umbraeon first came. It ripped open the sky and began to destroy everything around. Except this one bubble of time. Like it is happening out there so fast, and in here, so slow. The eye of the storm, you know?" Solomon explained.
"So you opened a bar?" Leer sounded amused.
"No, I built a cabin and stocked it with alcohol. I was an alcoholic." Solomon shrugged.
"Why?" Adinett asked.
"I was scared to be myself. I was only happy when I wasn't me. I had to be locked inside my own mind, while my reptile was drunk." Solomon described.
"This is the best reptile bar I've ever seen." Adinett cheered, empty handed.
"By now it is the only bar. By now, unless there are other pockets like this one, untouched by Umbraeon. Well then the world is gone." Solomon predicted.
"That's how slowly time passes in here?" Leer wondered. Solomon just nodded.
"We have arrived at the end of the world." King Gamma said.
"So Mad Swordsman knew, somehow, and that this was actual immortality." Leer decided.
"I hadn't thought of that." King Gamma took a drink.
Everyone was quiet while they realized how close was the end.

4. Han Solo and Chewbacca, upon hearing rumors of a force-sensitive individual among the Mandalorians, find Rey. Discovering her potential, they set course to the Jedi Temple on Tython.
5. Leia, in the meantime, decides to visit Tython to see her brother Luke and her son Ben, who has passed the trials and is made a Jedi Knight. It's during this visit that Han and Chewbacca arrive with Rey. This eventful day brings about a long-awaited reunion between the original heroes - Leia, Luke, Han, and Chewbacca.
6. Amidst this poignant moment, the need for Rey's training becomes clear, and she becomes the newest member of Luke's academy.
7. In the final act, the rumors of Thrawn are confirmed as his fleet launches a surprise attack on Coruscant. The Senate building is evacuated, but Leia, with a determination characteristic of her, stays behind to coordinate the counterattack. The attack results in her untimely death.
8. In response to the attack, Finn and Poe, now promoted to Generals, lead a counterattack against Thrawn. As the situation grows dire, and with Thrawn's fleet mercilessly bombing civilian targets, Finn makes a difficult decision. He evacuates his ship, asking Poe to do the same.

2. Luke, sensing that Thrawn is still alive, begins to have visions of the ancient Sith homeworld, Korriban. Believing it to be a clue, he sends his most trusted Jedi Knight, Ben Solo, along with his Padawan, Rey, on a mission to Korriban.
3. The quest takes Ben and Rey to the shadowy depths of Korriban, where they explore the ancient Sith temples and tombs. Thrawn and his fleet, however, are nowhere to be found.
4. The journey takes a dark turn when the ceiling of the tomb of Darth Bane collapses, separating Ben and Rey. As Ben searches for a way back to Rey, the Sith ghost of Darth Bane appears to Rey, attempting to seduce her to the dark side.
5. When Ben finally finds Rey, he senses a deep change in her. Realizing that she has turned to the dark side, he tries to reach out to her, pleading her to resist the lure of the Sith. But Rey, fully embraced by the dark side, attacks Ben, resulting in his death.
6. Back on Tython, Luke feels a deep disturbance in the Force and is filled with grief when he realizes his nephew's demise and Rey's turn to the dark side. During his time of despair, he is visited by the Force ghost of his father, Anakin Skywalker, who offers him comfort and guidance.
7. As news of Rey's actions and Ben's death reaches the New Republic and the Jedi Order, an urgent council is called. In this meeting, the leaders start planning how to counter the rising Sith threat, now made real and personal by Rey's betrayal. The episode ends with a heavy sense of uncertainty about the future.

Star Wars Episode IX: The Sith Reborn

2. On Tython, the Jedi Order holds a solemn funeral for Han Solo, who died of grief following the loss of both his wife and son. The loss is immense, with Chewbacca, unable to bear the grief of losing his oldest friends, deciding to return to his home planet of Kashyyyk after saying a final goodbye to Luke.
3. That night, Luke is visited by the Force ghost of Obi-Wan Kenobi. Obi-Wan reveals a long-held secret: Rey is his granddaughter, a result of a secret affair he had with Duchess Satine of Mandalore before the Clone Wars. Obi-Wan shares with Luke a hard-earned insight – that love is the essence of the Force and that the old Jedi Order's strict policy on emotional detachment was flawed.
4. Driven by his love for his family and friends he has lost, Luke seeks out Rey, determined to bring her back to the light side. His confrontation with Rey ends tragically, with Rey, consumed by the dark side, killing Luke.
5. Following Luke's death, Rey returns to Thrawn and persuades him that the time is ripe to destroy the Jedi Order and the New Republic. Thrawn, swayed by Rey's resolve, agrees to this dark plan.
6. Rey returns to Tython and deliberately reveals herself to the Jedi Order and the Grand Army of the New Republic, luring them to Mustafar.
7. The climax unfolds in a massive space battle above Mustafar, with the New Republic and Jedi Order launching an all-out offensive against Thrawn's fleet. Despite suffering heavy losses, the New Republic and Jedi manage to overcome Thrawn’s forces and capture Thrawn himself.
8. However, Rey manages to escape amidst the chaos, taking refuge in Vader's Castle on Mustafar. There, she is visited by the Sith ghost of Emperor Palpatine, who convinces her to reject the Rule of Two, the principle that had defined Sith relationships for centuries.
9. Palpatine urges Rey to create a vast army of Sith to bring down the New Republic and the Jedi Order. The story ends with Rey, now a symbol of a new Sith era, beginning to plot her next move, setting the stage for the next trilogy.

It seems like another album that adds layers in the story, here is one way to view the lyrics.
Narrative
"Witchcraft," "Gila Monster," and "PetroDragonic Apocalypse" — weaves a cautionary tale of reckless ambition and its catastrophic consequences. The narrative unfolds as follows:

• In "Witchcraft," a coven of witches conducts a ritual, summoning and empowering a harmless creature, which transforms into the Gila Monster.
• The Gila Monster, as portrayed in the song bearing its name, feeds on these witches, growing in power and transforming into a formidable entity.
• In the climax, presented in "PetroDragonic Apocalypse," the Gila Monster morphs into the PetroDragon, causing massive destruction and marking the dawn of an era of despair.

"Witchcraft": This song sets the stage for the narrative, depicting a ritual conducted by a coven of witches. Their intentions are to empower a tiny creature (the skink), but their actions have unintended consequences. The creature morphs into the Gila Monster, an entity that devours its creators, hinting at the perils of tampering with powerful and unpredictable forces (AI or technology in general).
"Gila Monster": This song presents the rise of the Gila Monster, portraying it as an insatiable entity feeding on its creators to grow stronger. The Gila Monster's transformation is foreshadowed, with the song hinting at its eventual evolution into a winged creature — the PetroDragon.
"PetroDragonic Apocalypse": The narrative reaches its climax in this song, showing the Gila Monster's complete transformation into the PetroDragon. This entity causes widespread destruction, symbolizing the catastrophic fallout of reckless actions and unchecked growth. Despite human attempts to thwart the beast, the PetroDragon's reign ushers in an "eternal night," marking the start of a bleak and despairing era.
Theme: I believe it critiques the disastrous consequences of unchecked ambition. The Gila Monster consuming its creators could symbolize the disastrous repercussions of misusing power, while its transformation into the PetroDragon might represent the uncontrollable escalation of a dangerous force. The term 'Petro' in PetroDragon alludes to fossil fuels, potentially offering commentary on the environmental crisis.
This narrative can also be viewed through the lens of technology and its potential to be both beneficial and destructive. The creation of the Gila Monster may symbolize the birth of a powerful technology (like artificial intelligence), and its transformation into the PetroDragon could symbolize this technology spiraling out of control. In this context, the songs serve as a warning against the reckless pursuit of power and advancement without considering the potential fallout.
Dragon

1. "PetroDragonic Apocalypse" - The title and chorus suggest a catastrophic event involving a "PetroDragonic" entity. The prefix 'Petro' is related to rocks or petroleum, and 'Dragonic' relates to dragons, implying a disaster possibly related to these elements.
2. The first verse seems to describe the dragon's flight, and it's destructive power - burning and razing everything in its path."Gila is the aether" - A Gila monster, representing the dragon. The aether, an archaic term used to describe the substance that fills the universe above the terrestrial sphere, can indicate the dragon's domain.
3. The phrase "What hath God wrought?" is a reference to the first message sent via Morse code and it's often used to question the consequences of an invention or discovery. It suggests the unleashing of this dragon-like force may be an unintended and regrettable consequence of some action.
4. The repeated "Dragon, dragon, dragon, dragon" throughout the song could signify the pervasive, unstoppable nature of the dragon.
5. The bridge's description of "winged demon on the stratosphere", "scrambling jets", and "cities weep" seem to describe a chaotic scene in which modern human defenses (like fighter jets) are trying and failing to stop the destructive dragon.
6. Verses 3, 4, 5, and 6 depict the descent of the dragon from a portal in the sky and an incantation to summon it.
7. The phrase "Dawn of eternal night" could represent the beginning of a period of endless darkness or despair brought about by the dragon's reign.
8. The final verses describe the destructive power of the dragon, marking the end of the world ("Earth murdered in the blink of an eye") and the rise of a new, cruel order (signified by the dragon, "the beast we awoke").
9. The song seems to use the dragon as a metaphor for a catastrophic force (possibly technological, natural, or both) that brings about destruction and chaos. The narrative might be a critique of human actions leading to their own downfall, symbolized by the dragon they awoke.

Gilla monster
The lyrics of "Gila Monster" depict the transformation and growth of a monstrous entity known as the Gila. This song's lyrics continue the narrative begun in "PetroDragonic Apocalypse," and there's a clear progression of the monster's power, starting from a ground creature and ascending to a sky-dominating force.

1. "Anon, a giant monster roams / Creature of magic, not of hope" - The song begins with the introduction of the Gila monster, described as a creature of magic without hope. This monster hunts and devours witches, growing in strength, size, and power with every meal. This creature's power and menace are emphasized throughout the lyrics.
2. "Until one day upon his back / He'll sprout wings, a fearsome pack" - The transformation of the Gila monster into a dragon is foretold. This fits with the PetroDragonic entity in the first song.
3. The repeated "Gila, Gila, Gila" seems to echo the previous song's refrain of "Dragon, dragon, dragon, dragon," further connecting the two entities.
4. The verses also present the Gila monster as an unstoppable force with no sense of forgiveness, a blood spiller and a fate sealer, reinforcing the destructive and merciless nature of the creature.
5. The final verses, like in "PetroDragonic Apocalypse," describe the Gila monster's transformation into an even more powerful creature: "Growing immensely and vastly in size / Summoned from the wicca to their demise." These lyrics suggest the creature was called forth by witches, who are ironically its main prey.
6. The concluding lines of the song, "Annihilation of planet earth / And the beginning of merciless damnation," connect back to the concept of the PetroDragonic apocalypse introduced in the first song.

Whitchcraft

1. The lyrics depict a vivid scene of a group of witches performing a ritual under the dying moon, invoking the elements and chanting to empower a creature. This sets a sinister atmosphere and signifies the power these witches wield.
   
2. The line "I call upon the blood-moon goddess for I have but one request" suggests a plea to a higher power, perhaps for a transformation or creation of some sort, which is revealed later as the transformation of a skink into a mythic king.
   
3. "Gila Monster, set alight" indicates the transformation or empowerment of a creature — the Gila Monster. The words "set alight" may symbolize the beginning of its destructive path, sparked by this ritual.
   
4. The lines "Like a grenade in a fist, the air ignites, a bloody mist" depict the immediate consequences of the ritual — a surge of power, potentially indicating the unleashing of the transformed entity, resulting in chaos and destruction.
   
5. The reference to "Beowulf, grifting ritualist" might suggest a manipulative figure in the ritual, possibly stirring the proceedings towards a catastrophic end. The character of Beowulf in literature is a hero who fights monsters, and in this context, it may suggest a character trying to control or fight the entity that they have created.
   
6. "The tiny creature, a harmless skink, transforms into a mythic king" reveals the outcome of the ritual. This transformation, likely the result of the witches' incantations, could symbolize the unintended consequences of wielding powerful forces, leading to the creation of an entity that could cause destruction beyond their control.

• You can craft a copy of a Smithing Template in the Crafting Table with 7 diamonds + 1 block of material that the template is made out of + 1 smithing template, which will output 2 of the same Smithing Template

Netherite Equipment

• Netherite equipment crafting now also requires a Netherite Upgrade Smithing Template
• Netherite Upgrade Smithing Templates can be found randomly in all Bastion Remnant chests
  • Every Treasure Room Bastion Remnant will contain 2 Smithing Templates
• This change was made for a variety of reasons:
  • Increase the time players utilize Diamond equipment before Netherite
  • Make Netherite equipment more significant achievement in the game's progression
  • Adapt Netherite more naturally into the new Smithing Table crafting system

Armor Trims

• You can now visually customize your armor with a variety of unique trims at the Smithing Table
• Armor trims are purely visual with no gameplay benefits
• Armor trims can be applied to Helmets, Chestplates, Leggings and Boots
  • All trim patterns are visually the same on an armor's item icon, but the color will still change based on the trim material
  • To check which trim pattern a piece of armor has, you can hover over it in the inventory
• Armor Trim Smithing Templates can be found all throughout the world, and each of the following structures contain their own unique Smithing Templates:
  • Trail Ruins: Wayfinder, Raiser, Shaper, and Host Armor Trims
  • Pillager Outpost: Sentry Armor Trim
  • Desert Pyramid: Dune Armor Trim
  • Shipwreck: Coast Armor Trim
  • Jungle Temple: Wild Armor Trim
  • Ocean Monument: Tide Armor Trim
  • Ancient City: Ward and Silence Armor Trims
  • Woodland Mansion: Vex Armor Trim
  • Nether Fortress: Rib Armor Trim
  • Bastion Remnant: Snout Armor Trim
  • Stronghold: Eye Armor Trim
  • End City: Spire Armor Trim
• Smithing Templates are found in chests in their respective structure
  • Trail Ruins have no chests, Smithing Templates are instead found by brushing Suspicious Gravel
  • The Ocean Monument has no chests, Elder Guardians sometimes instead drop a Smithing Template upon death
• Some Armor Trim Smithing Templates are rarer than others, so be on the lookout for them to impress your friends!
• An armor trim has two properties: a pattern and a material
  • The pattern is defined by the Smithing Template used to apply the trim, and represents the visual pattern of the trim
  • The material is defined by which ingredient you used to apply the trim, and controls the color of the trim
• The viable ingredients you can use to define the color of your armor trim are the following:
  • Iron, Copper, Gold, Lapis, Emerald, Diamond, Netherite, Redstone, Amethyst, Quartz

Cherry Groves

• Added a new Cherry Grove biome, with pretty cherry blossom trees
  • The biome can be found in the mountains, in similar places as Meadows
• Added a new Cherry wood set, with all the corresponding wooden things you can craft from it
• Pink particles fall from beneath Cherry Leaves
• Added a new Pink Petals block with lots of pink flowers on the ground
  • Each Pink Petal block can contain up to 4 petals
  • Using Bone Meal on it increases the number of petals
  • Placing a Pink Petal into an already placed block increases the number of petals
  • Drops the number of petals in the block when mined

Bamboo Wood Set

• Added a new Bamboo wood set, with all the corresponding wooden things you can craft from it
• Block of Bamboo can be crafted from 9 Bamboo and can be stripped like other wood logs
• Bamboo Planks crafted from Block of Bamboo yield only 2 planks compared to 4 for wood logs
• Added a new "Mosaic" plank variant that is unique to Bamboo called the Bamboo Mosaic
  • It can be crafted with 1x2 Bamboo Slabs in a vertical strip
  • You can craft Stair and Slab variants of Bamboo Mosaic
  • Bamboo Mosaic blocks cannot be used as a crafting ingredient where other wooden blocks are used, but they can be used as fuel
• Added a unique Bamboo Raft and Bamboo Chest Raft which can be crafted like normal boats, but with Bamboo Planks
  • They function the same as ordinary boats, but have a unique look to them

Chiseled Bookshelf

• A new, chiseled variation of the Bookshelf
• Crafted with 6 planks and 3 wooden slabs
• Can store Books, Book and Quills, Written Books, Enchanted Books, and Knowledge Books
  • Holds up to 6 books
  • These can be added or removed from any slot by targeting the specific slot
• The Comparator signal strength corresponds to the number of the last book that was inserted or removed
  • The numbering of book slots starts from 1 at the top-left, and increments from left-to-right
• Works with Hoppers

Hanging Signs

• Hanging Signs are a more expensive version of normal Signs
  • Crafted with 2 chains and 6 stripped logs of your preferred wood type
  • Crafting results in 6 Hanging Signs
• Can be hung up in the following ways:
  • Underneath a block that can provide support in the center, like a full block or a fence
  • Attached to the solid side of a block
  • Attached to the side or underneath another Hanging Sign
• Unlike normal Signs, they cannot be placed directly on the ground without support from the side or above
  • However, Hanging Signs that have a horizontal bar will not pop when the supporting block is removed

Signs

The following changes have been made for both Signs and Hanging Signs. - Sign text can now be edited after being placed in the world - This can be done by interacting with the Sign - Signs with non-text chat components can not be edited - Both sides of the Sign can now have separate text and colors, allowing for further customization options - By default, a Sign will prompt you to input the front side's text when placed - To apply text to the back-side, you must walk to the other side and interact with that face to edit it - Signs can now also be waxed with Honeycomb, preventing any further edits to its text - Opening the sign edit screen in singleplayer no longer pauses the game

Calibrated Sculk Sensors

• A new variant of Sculk Sensors that allows you to filter vibrations based on their frequency level
• They are not found naturally and can only be crafted with 1 Sculk Sensor and 3 Amethyst Shards in the Crafting Table
• One side of the Calibrated Sculk Sensor can receive a redstone signal as input
  • The strength of that redstone signal is the only vibration frequency the Sculk Sensor will listen to
• They have a combined active and cooldown phase that lasts 20 game ticks
  • They output their redstone signal for the first 10 game ticks
• They can detect vibrations up to 16 blocks away

Vibration Resonance

• Blocks of Amethyst have a new behavior when placed adjacent to Sculk Sensors
  • If that Sculk Sensor receives a vibration, the Block of Amethyst will re-emit its frequency as a separate vibration at its location
• This behavior is called Vibration Resonance, and allows players to move vibration frequencies across long distances without having to recreate the vibration naturally

Playable Mob Sounds

• When placing a Mob Head on a Note Block, that Note Block will now play one of the ambient sounds of that mob when played by a player or powered by Redstone
• Mob Heads can be placed on top of Note Blocks without sneaking

Piglin Mob Head

• Piglins will now drop their heads when killed by a charged Creeper
• Placing the Piglin head on a Note Block will play one of the Piglin's ambient sounds
• The Piglin head will flap its ears when powered by Redstone, or when worn by a player while walking

New Music

• Added the following new music tracks by Aaron Cherof to Cherry Groves, Desert, Jungle, Badlands, and Flower Forest biomes:
  • A Familiar Room
  • Bromeliad
  • Crescent Dunes
  • Echo in the Wind
• Added a new music disc with the track "Relic" by Aaron Cherof, found in Trail Ruins

Windows Aarch64/ARM64 support

• Minecraft Java Edition is now fully supported on Windows devices using an Aarch64/ARM64 architecture, such as the Windows Surface Pro X

Changes

• Changes to Sculk Sensor block behaviors
• Vibration frequencies of many actions in the game have been tweaked
• Colored Wool, Carpets and Beds can now be dyed to any other color
• Replaceable blocks no longer block the connection between enchanting tables and bookshelves
• Wither effect particle and Potion of Slow Falling color have been adjusted to make them more distinguishable

• Updated the credits
  • Added the ability to scroll upwards by pressing the up arrow key
• The game will now display a message box on startup if user enabled text-to-speech functionality, but it is not available
• Removed Herobrine

Sculk Changes

• If a vibration is scheduled to be received by a Sculk Sensor or Sculk Shrieker, they will stay queued until all adjacent chunks are loaded and ticking
  • Prevents vibration resonance setups from breaking when unloading their chunks from a distance
• Waterlogging a Sculk Shrieker will now silence their shriek sounds
• Sculk Sensors' default redstone output has been modified to be more reliable for distance calculations
• Sculk Sensors and Calibrated Sculk Sensors now strongly power the block they are placed on
• Both types of Sculk Sensors now stay in their Cooldown phase for 10 ticks, with other phase timings being adjusted to compensate

Sculk Sensor Phases

• Sculk Sensors and Calibrated Sculk Sensors have three phases: Inactive, Active and Cooldown
• The default phase is Inactive
  • This phase lasts indefinitely until the block receives a vibration
  • During this phase, the block is able to listen to nearby vibrations until one has been scheduled
• When a scheduled vibration is received, the block switches to the Active phase
  • This phase lasts 30 game ticks for Sculk Sensors, and 10 game ticks for Calibrated Sculk Sensors
  • During this phase, the block stops listening to nearby vibrations, wiggles its tendrils and emits a redstone signal and light
• After the Active phase has finished, the block switches to a Cooldown phase
  • This phase lasts for 10 game ticks
  • During this phase, the block keeps wiggling its tendrils, but no longer emits a redstone signal nor light
  • Finally, once this phase is finished, the block will switch back to the Inactive phase
• Previously, some of these phases had different timing values:
  • Active: 40 game ticks for Sculk Sensors and 20 game ticks for Calibrated Sculk Sensors
  • Cooldown: 1 game tick for both types of Sculk Sensors
• These phase timings were tweaked so that it is less common for activated contraptions to recursively activate the Sculk Sensor that powered them

Vibration Frequencies

In preparation for the Calibrated Sculk Sensor, vibration frequencies have been greatly simplified to prevent unwanted interference. The following are category descriptions for each frequency and the expected events that they correspond to:

1. Movement in any medium (land, water and air)
2. Landing on any surface (land or water)
3. Item interactions
4. Gliding with an elytra or unique mob actions (Ravager roar, Wolf shaking, etc)
5. Dismounting a mob or equipping gear
6. Mounting a mob or interacting with a mob
7. Mobs and players getting damaged
8. Consuming items (drinking and eating)
9. Blocks 'deactivating' (door close, chest close, button unpress, etc)
10. Blocks 'activating' (door open, chest open, button press, etc)
11. Blocks changing (cauldron water level rising, adding food to campfire, etc.)
12. Blocks being destroyed
13. Blocks being placed
14. Mobs and players teleporting or spawning
15. Mobs and players dying or an explosion

Step Sounds

• Walking on a block will now always play a step sound
  • It was previously not the case if you were walking along the edge of a block with air or fluid besides it
• Walking on the ocean floor will produce a step sound for the block you are walking on at a lower volume and pitch
• When walking on Carpets, Snow, Nether Sprouts, Warped Roots, and Crimson Roots, a combination of step sounds will be played
  • The top-most block you are walking on is played as normal
  • The block underneath is played at a lower volume and pitch

Advancements

• Breeding Camels and Sniffers now count for "The Parrots and the Bats" and are now required for "Two by Two"
• Hanging Signs now count for "Glow and Behold"
• Visiting a Cherry Grove is now required for "Adventuring Time"

Technical Changes

• Improved performance of the light engine
• The data pack version is now 15, accounting for sign data format, item display orientation and advancement changes
• Removed update_1_20 feature flag and built-in datapack - features are no longer experimental
• Added a return command
• Tweaked display entity interpolation
• Added a capped rule structure processor that limits the number of replaced blocks for a structure piece to a configured maximum
• Configuring block entity fields in a rule processor rule is now delegated to a referenced block_entity_modifier instead of the previously fixed output_nbt configuration
• Random sequences for loot tables are now deterministic
• Added a reference loot table function
• Loot table condition/predicate changes:
  • Renamed alternative to any_of
  • Added all_of
• Advancement trigger changes:
  • Added recipe_crafted
  • Changed format of placed_block, item_used_on_block and allay_drop_item_on_block triggers
• Ingredients in array form are now also allowed in smithing_trim and smithing_transform recipes on fields template, base and addition
  • Those fields also allow empty arrays, which signalize that slot needs to be left empty
• Added new damage types: outside_border and generic_kill
• Game events have changed vibration frequency and some have been removed
• The resource pack version is now 15, accounting for the font and credits update
  • Updated the sprite layout of minecraft.png
  • Removed the overriding minecraft.png from the Programmer Art resource pack
  • Updated the sprite layout of invite_icon.png
  • legacy_unicode glyph provider has been removed
  • Bitmaps used by uniform font have been removed
  • uniform font has been updated to use Unifont 15.0.06
  • That changes shape of multiple characters, while also adding support for new ones
  • Combining characters no longer include circle overlayed over them (so M◌̆ now renders as M ̆)
  • Added second level of organization of entries in credits.json on top of titles, called disciplines
• Font textures are included in debug texture dump (F3 + S)
• Added new font glyph providers: unihex and reference, removed legacy_unicode
• Added support for Quick Play
• Removed the server & port commandline arguments as their functionality has been replaced by Quick Play
• Updates to telemetry
• Changed encoding of server.properties to UTF-8
• Added validation for symbolic links in world saves

Light Engine

The light engine is responsible for calculating the brightness of each block in the world. Light is calculated during world generation as well as updated when a block is changed in the world. Behavior of the light engine has not been changed.

• The performance of calculating light has been improved
  • Reduces one source of lag spikes when crossing chunk borders
  • Improves FPS in situations when a lot of light updates occur
  • Improves how quickly chunks can be generated

Commands

return

The return command can be used to control execution flow inside functions and change their return value. Effects:

• Remaining separate top-level commands in the currently executing function (if any) are skipped
• The result value of the function command that triggered the function is changed from the number of commands executed to value
• The result value of the return command is also value

Syntax:
return
Parameters:

• value: An integer return value

data

• string data sources now accept negative boundaries, which are interpreted as index counted from the end of the string

Display Entity

Interpolation Changes

• Previous values are always discarded if interpolation_duration is 0
• Made sure that render properties are applied at the same time (so block_state is applied at the same time as transformation, i.e. at the next tick after receiving an update)
• Display entities are not rendered until their initial data is received. That means display entities might not be shown on the first tick.
• Note: due to how the game handles updates, changes to entities made after summoning might be delivered to clients within a later tick

Rendering Changes

• item_display items have been rotated 180 degrees around the Y axis to better match the transformation that is applied when rendering items on an Armor Stand head and in Item Frames
  • For reference, the order of transformations applied to model (starting from innermost) is item_transform, rotate Y 180, transformation field, entity orientation (billboard option + Rotation field + Pos field)

Structure post-processors

Capped post-processor

• A capped post-processor has been added which can limit how many blocks a delegated post-processor randomly transform in a structure
• This can be used to configure a structure piece to have an exact amount of specific blocks, instead of using random distribution
• The capped post-processor has following required parameters:
  • delegate A post-processor which performs the actual block transformation
  • limit Maximum amount of blocks that the delegated post-processor can transform
  • The blocks inside a structure are all randomly passed to the delegated post-processor until it has transformed the limited amount
  • Either constant or random number generator sampled during post-processing

Rule post-processor block entity configuration

• Previously a rule could specify an optional fixed output_nbt which would be added to the processed output block entity
• This field has now been changed to reference a block_entity_modifier
• Existing block_entity_modifier's are:
  • passthrough Retains existing fields on the block entity
  • This is the default if no block_entity_modifier is specified
  • append_static Similar to previous output_nbt this provides fixed fields to add to the block entity
  • A minor change is that this modifier appends configured fields to the processed block instead of replacing existing fields
  • clear Removes any existing fields on the block entity
  • append_loot Appends a loot table and seed to the block entity through required parameter:
  • loot_table Referenced loot table to add to block entity as LootTable field
  • Field LootTableSeed is also added to the block entity using random seeded by block position

Loot Tables

Random Sequences

The game now uses named random sequences to deterministically produce loot for loot tables. Each random sequence produces a unique sequence based on the world seed and sequence ID, which means a loot table will produce the same results when ran with the same parameters in the same world.
The ID of the random sequence to use for a loot table is specified in a new optional field called random_sequence. If no sequence name is given, loot is drawn using a non-deterministic random source.

reference

New function reference allows functions to call sub-functions (similar to reference condition).
Fields: - name - location of function to call

any_of/all_of

• Loot condition alternative has been renamed to any_of
• Added new loot condition all_of that passes only when all sub-conditions pass
  • Has the same syntax as any_of

Advancements

New Triggers

recipe_crafted

• Triggered when crafting a recipe
• Conditions:
  • recipe_id - the resource location of the recipe crafted
  • ingredients - an array of predicates for the item stacks used in the recipe
  • A single item stack can only be used to fulfill one predicate
  • Each predicate needs to be fulfilled to trigger the advancement. This allows for separation between recipes that have same identifier but use different ingredients.
  • This field is optional. When not provided, or left empty, only the recipe_id will dictate the success of the trigger

Changed Triggers

• All fields in placed_block, item_used_on_block and allay_drop_item_on_block have been collapsed into a single location field
• The new location is similar to the player field - it is a list of loot conditions/predicates
• All conditions in this list must match for a trigger to run
• Conditions are evaluated in a new loot context called advancement_location. It has access to:
  • Player as this entity
  • Position of the placed block
  • Block state of the placed/interacted block
  • Held/used item as "tool"
• Migration guide:
  • Contents of old location field should be migrated to location_check condition
  • Contents of item field should be migrated to match_tool condition
  • Contents of block + state fields should be migrated to block_state_property condition

Example (from make_a_sign_glow advancement):
Before: { "conditions": { "item": { "items": [ "minecraft:glow_ink_sac" ] }, "location": { "block": { "tag": "minecraft:all_signs" } } }, "trigger": "minecraft:item_used_on_block" } After: { "conditions": { "location": [ { "condition": "minecraft:match_tool", "predicate": { "items": [ "minecraft:glow_ink_sac" ] } }, { "condition": "minecraft:location_check", "predicate": { "block": { "tag": "minecraft:all_signs" } } } ] }, "trigger": "minecraft:item_used_on_block" }

Damage Types

• Players outside the world border are now hurt by the damage type outside_border instead of in_wall
• Forcibly removing an entity using the /kill command now uses damage type generic_kill instead of out_of_world

Tags

Block Tags

• Removed replaceable_plants since it was only used as a subset of the blocks for the tag above, and not as universally
• Added replaceable_by_trees to better express blocks that are replaced when the tree grows through them
• Added replaceable with all the blocks that can be replaced
  • This tag only represents the internal state of the game, changing this tag does not make blocks replaceable
• Added sword_efficient to represent blocks that are broken 50% faster by a sword than normal
• Added maintains_farmland to represent which blocks will not cause farmland to be converted into dirt due to drying out when placed on top of it
• Added combination_step_sound_blocks that controls which blocks produce a combination of step sounds

Fonts

New unihex Glyph Provider

• New glyph provider for reading Unifont HEX files
  • HEX format describes font glyphs using a bitmap
  • The height of every glyph is 16 pixels
  • The width of glyph can be 8, 16, 24 or 32 pixels
  • Every line is made of two hexadecimal numbers separated by :
  • The first value describes a codepoint - it must have 4, 5 or 6 hex digits
  • The second value describes the glyph as a stream of bits, line by line
• When rendering, empty columns on left and right side of glyphs are removed
  • Custom glyph widths can be set with size_overrides
• This provider requires two fields:
  • hex_file - path to ZIP archive containing one or more *.hex files (files in archive with different extensions are ignored)
  • size_overrides - list of codepoint ranges that should have width different from auto-detected (based on empty space in glyph). Fields:
  • from, to - start and end of codepoint range (inclusive)
  • left, right - integers describing the position of the left-most and right-most columns of the glyph in range
    • Any bits in columns outside of this range will be discarded

New reference Glyph Provider

• New glyph provider that can be used to include providers from other fonts
  • Providers are guaranteed to be loaded only once, no matter how many times they are included
• Provider has one field id, that describes another font to be included in the currently loaded one
  • Inclusion is performed after all fonts are loaded, so it will include all providers for a given font defined in all datapacks

Removed legacy_unicode Glyph Provider

• The legacy_unicode glyph provider has been removed
• This functionality has been replaced by the unihex provider

Quick Play

• Added support for four new command line arguments that allow the game to be launched directly into a world
• quickPlayPath takes a specified path for logging (relative to the run directory)
  • If a path is provided the following will be logged upon joining a world:
  • type: is either singleplayer, multiplayer, or realms
  • identifier: represents the world you want to join
    • For singleplayer, the folder name of the world
    • For multiplayer, the IP address of the server
    • For realms, the Realms ID
  • port: represents the server port and is only logged for multiplayer
  • name: The name of the world
  • gamemode: The gamemode of the world
  • lastPlayedTime: The time you joined the world
  • Example:
  • --quickPlayPath "quickPlay/log.json" will resolve into .minecraft/quickPlay/log.json
• quickPlaySingleplayer, quickPlayMultiplayer and quickPlayRealms all take their respective identifier
  • If one of these arguments is provided, the game will try to launch directly into the given world
  • Examples:
  • --quickPlaySingleplayer "New World"
  • --quickPlayMultiplayer "localhost:25565"
  • --quickPlayRealms "1234"

Telemetry

All Events

• Added new property: launcher_name
  • This is set based on the minecraft.launcher.brand system property
  • This will help us troubleshoot game launch related bugs more effectively, as we will be able to see whether the issue originated in the Minecraft launcher or a third-party program

Updated Required Events

• world_loaded
  • Added new property: realms_map_content
  • When loading into a Realms Map Content world (Minigame), the world_loaded event will receive the name of that map
  • This is to help us understand how Java Realms players interact with Java Realms adventure or minimap content

New Optional Events

• advancement_made
  • This event is triggered when a player completes an advancement, and allows us to see the advancement ID and the time when the advancement was completed
  • This helps us as a studio understand player progress and limits, which informs our game design
• game_load_times
  • This event is triggered when the game client is loaded
  • Includes the time it took for the client to load
  • This is so that we can work on improving and reducing the time it takes to load the game client

server.properties

• File is now read in UTF-8 initially, with previous encoding (ISO 8859-1/Latin 1) as a fallback
• File is now written with UTF-8 encoding

Symbolic Link Validation

To improve safety, the game will now detect symbolic links used inside world directory. For a detailed explanation, check our help article.

• If the target of a symbolic link is not on the user-configured allow-list, the game will not proceed with loading the world
  • Note: the world directory itself can still be linked
• The list of allowed symbolic link targets is stored in file allowed_symlinks.txt in the client or server top directory
• The file consists of entries (one per line) with following formats allowed:
  • Lines starting with # are comments and are ignored
  • [type]pattern, where type can be glob, regex or prefix
  • prefix matches start of path with given pattern (so for /test paths /test, /test/ and /test/foo.txt would match)
  • regex matches regular expression against whole path
  • glob uses OS-specific path matching mechanism (for example *.txt would usually match files with txt extension)
  • Note: paths will use OS-specific separators
  • pattern, which uses default prefix type

  • They cannot be crafted, and are only found by brushing Suspicious Sand or Suspicious Gravel

Decorated Pots

• Crafting four Pottery Sherds together will create a Decorated Pot with a picture on each side
• Brick items can be used instead of Pottery Sherds in the Decorated Pot recipe
  • The sides that were made from Brick items will not have pictures
• Smash a Decorated Pot with any block-breaking tool to break it apart and get the Pottery Sherds back
  • Hitting the pot with bare hands, silk touch tools, or any other item will drop an intact pot instead
• Crafted Decorated Pots with at least one pattern have a hover tooltip displaying the Sherd & Brick ingredients

Sniffer

• The Sniffer is the mob vote winner of Minecraft Live 2022
• Sniffers are passive, friendly mobs
• Sniffers sniff the air and occasionally dig for seeds, which produces a Torchflower Seed or a Pitcher Pod item
• Sniffers can only dig grass and dirt-like blocks
• Sniffers can be tempted by, and bred with Torchflowers Seeds

Sniffer Egg

• Can be found by brushing the Suspicious Sand of Warm Ocean Ruins
• When two Sniffers breed they do not immediately spawn a Snifflet; instead, a Sniffer Egg is dropped
• When placed in the world, the Sniffer Egg will hatch after some time
  • When placed on Moss, the Egg will hatch in approximately 10 minutes
  • On all other blocks, it will hatch in approximately 20 minutes

Torchflowers

• The Sniffer can occasionally sniff up a Torchflowers seed, and it can be used to breed two Sniffers
• The Torchflower seed can be planted on Farmland and grows into a Torchflower
• The full-grown flower can be harvested and replanted
• The Torchflower can be crafted into Orange Dye

Pitcher Plant

• The Sniffer can occasionally sniff up a Pitcher Pod item
• The Pitcher Pod, when planted on Farmland, grows into a Pitcher Crop
• The Pitcher Crop has five growth stages
• Once fully grown, the Pitcher Crop can be harvested, yielding a two-block-tall Pitcher Plant
• The Pitcher Plant can be crafted into Cyan Dye

Camel

• Camels can be equipped with a Saddle and ridden by two players
• Camels spawn naturally when Desert Villages generate
• Camels can be tempted by holding Cactus

• They can also dash forward but will lose stamina for a while when doing so

Smithing

• Smithing Tables have been redesigned into a workstation for physical equipment upgrades and modifications
• Alongside slots for combining a piece of equipment and materials, there is now a required slot for an item type called Smithing Template
• Smithing Templates define what type of upgrade you will be making to a piece of equipment
  • It specifies both what type of items you can upgrade, and which ingredients are valid to customize the upgrade
  • There are currently two categories of Smithing Templates: Armor Trim and Netherite Upgrade
• Smithing Templates are consumed when used to upgrade an item in the Smithing Table
• You can craft a copy of a Smithing Template in the Crafting Table with 7 diamonds + 1 block of material that the template is made out of + 1 smithing template, which will output 2 of the same Smithing Template

Netherite Equipment

• Netherite equipment crafting now also requires a Netherite Upgrade Smithing Template
• Netherite Upgrade Smithing Templates can be found randomly in all Bastion Remnant chests
  • Every Treasure Room Bastion Remnant will contain 2 Smithing Templates
• This change was made for a variety of reasons:
  • Increase the time players utilize Diamond equipment before Netherite
  • Make Netherite equipment more significant achievement in the game's progression
  • Adapt Netherite more naturally into the new Smithing Table crafting system

Armor Trims

• You can now visually customize your armor with a variety of unique trims at the Smithing Table
• Armor trims are purely visual with no gameplay benefits
• Armor trims can be applied to Helmets, Chestplates, Leggings and Boots
  • All trim patterns are visually the same on an armor's item icon, but the color will still change based on the trim material
  • To check which trim pattern a piece of armor has, you can hover over it in the inventory
• Armor Trim Smithing Templates can be found all throughout the world, and each of the following structures contain their own unique Smithing Templates:
  • Trail Ruins: Wayfinder, Raiser, Shaper, and Host Armor Trims
  • Pillager Outpost: Sentry Armor Trim
  • Desert Pyramid: Dune Armor Trim

  • Woodland Mansion: Vex Armor Trim
  • Nether Fortress: Rib Armor Trim
  • Bastion Remnant: Snout Armor Trim
  • Stronghold: Eye Armor Trim
  • End City: Spire Armor Trim
• Smithing Templates are found in chests in their respective structure
  • Trail Ruins have no chests, Smithing Templates are instead found by brushing Suspicious Gravel
  • The Ocean Monument has no chests, Elder Guardians sometimes instead drop a Smithing Template upon death
• Some Armor Trim Smithing Templates are rarer than others, so be on the lookout for them to impress your friends!
• An armor trim has two properties: a pattern and a material
  • The pattern is defined by the Smithing Template used to apply the trim, and represents the visual pattern of the trim
  • The material is defined by which ingredient you used to apply the trim, and controls the color of the trim
• The viable ingredients you can use to define the color of your armor trim are the following:
  • Iron, Copper, Gold, Lapis, Emerald, Diamond, Netherite, Redstone, Amethyst, Quartz

Cherry Groves

• Added a new Cherry Grove biome, with pretty cherry blossom trees
  • The biome can be found in the mountains, in similar places as Meadows
• Added a new Cherry wood set, with all the corresponding wooden things you can craft from it
• Pink particles fall from beneath Cherry Leaves
• Added a new Pink Petals block with lots of pink flowers on the ground
  • Each Pink Petal block can contain up to 4 petals
  • Using Bone Meal on it increases the number of petals
  • Placing a Pink Petal into an already placed block increases the number of petals
  • Drops the number of petals in the block when mined

Bamboo Wood Set

• Added a new Bamboo wood set, with all the corresponding wooden things you can craft from it
• Block of Bamboo can be crafted from 9 Bamboo and can be stripped like other wood logs
• Bamboo Planks crafted from Block of Bamboo yield only 2 planks compared to 4 for wood logs
• Added a new "Mosaic" plank variant that is unique to Bamboo called the Bamboo Mosaic
  • It can be crafted with 1x2 Bamboo Slabs in a vertical strip
  • You can craft Stair and Slab variants of Bamboo Mosaic
  • Bamboo Mosaic blocks cannot be used as a crafting ingredient where other wooden blocks are used, but they can be used as fuel
• Added a unique Bamboo Raft and Bamboo Chest Raft which can be crafted like normal boats, but with Bamboo Planks
  • They function the same as ordinary boats, but have a unique look to them

Chiseled Bookshelf

• A new, chiseled variation of the Bookshelf
• Crafted with 6 planks and 3 wooden slabs
• Can store Books, Book and Quills, Written Books, Enchanted Books, and Knowledge Books
  • Holds up to 6 books
  • These can be added or removed from any slot by targeting the specific slot
• The Comparator signal strength corresponds to the number of the last book that was inserted or removed
  • The numbering of book slots starts from 1 at the top-left, and increments from left-to-right
• Works with Hoppers

Hanging Signs

• Hanging Signs are a more expensive version of normal Signs
  • Crafted with 2 chains and 6 stripped logs of your preferred wood type
  • Crafting results in 6 Hanging Signs
• Can be hung up in the following ways:
  • Underneath a block that can provide support in the center, like a full block or a fence
  • Attached to the solid side of a block
  • Attached to the side or underneath another Hanging Sign
• Unlike normal Signs, they cannot be placed directly on the ground without support from the side or above
  • However, Hanging Signs that have a horizontal bar will not pop when the supporting block is removed

Signs

The following changes have been made for both Signs and Hanging Signs. - Sign text can now be edited after being placed in the world - This can be done by interacting with the Sign - Signs with non-text chat components can not be edited - Both sides of the Sign can now have separate text and colors, allowing for further customization options - By default, a Sign will prompt you to input the front side's text when placed - To apply text to the back-side, you must walk to the other side and interact with that face to edit it - Signs can now also be waxed with Honeycomb, preventing any further edits to its text - Opening the sign edit screen in singleplayer no longer pauses the game

Calibrated Sculk Sensors

• A new variant of Sculk Sensors that allows you to filter vibrations based on their frequency level
• They are not found naturally and can only be crafted with 1 Sculk Sensor and 3 Amethyst Shards in the Crafting Table
• One side of the Calibrated Sculk Sensor can receive a redstone signal as input
  • The strength of that redstone signal is the only vibration frequency the Sculk Sensor will listen to
• They have a combined active and cooldown phase that lasts 20 game ticks
  • They output their redstone signal for the first 10 game ticks
• They can detect vibrations up to 16 blocks away

Vibration Resonance

• Blocks of Amethyst have a new behavior when placed adjacent to Sculk Sensors
  • If that Sculk Sensor receives a vibration, the Block of Amethyst will re-emit its frequency as a separate vibration at its location
• This behavior is called Vibration Resonance, and allows players to move vibration frequencies across long distances without having to recreate the vibration naturally

Playable Mob Sounds

• When placing a Mob Head on a Note Block, that Note Block will now play one of the ambient sounds of that mob when played by a player or powered by Redstone
• Mob Heads can be placed on top of Note Blocks without sneaking

Piglin Mob Head

• Piglins will now drop their heads when killed by a charged Creeper

Changes

• Changes to Sculk Sensor block behaviors
• Vibration frequencies of many actions in the game have been tweaked
• Colored Wool, Carpets and Beds can now be dyed to any other color
• Replaceable blocks no longer block the connection between enchanting tables and bookshelves

Sculk Changes

• If a vibration is scheduled to be received by a Sculk Sensor or Sculk Shrieker, they will stay queued until all adjacent chunks are loaded and ticking
  • Prevents vibration resonance setups from breaking when unloading their chunks from a distance
• Waterlogging a Sculk Shrieker will now silence their shriek sounds
• Sculk Sensors' default redstone output has been modified to be more reliable for distance calculations
• Sculk Sensors and Calibrated Sculk Sensors now strongly power the block they are placed on
• Both types of Sculk Sensors now stay in their Cooldown phase for 10 ticks, with other phase timings being adjusted to compensate

Sculk Sensor Phases

• Sculk Sensors and Calibrated Sculk Sensors have three phases: Inactive, Active and Cooldown
• The default phase is Inactive
  • This phase lasts indefinitely until the block receives a vibration
  • During this phase, the block is able to listen to nearby vibrations until one has been scheduled
• When a scheduled vibration is received, the block switches to the Active phase
  • This phase lasts 30 game ticks for Sculk Sensors, and 10 game ticks for Calibrated Sculk Sensors
  • During this phase, the block stops listening to nearby vibrations, wiggles its tendrils and emits a redstone signal and light
• After the Active phase has finished, the block switches to a Cooldown phase
  • This phase lasts for 10 game ticks
  • During this phase, the block keeps wiggling its tendrils, but no longer emits a redstone signal nor light
  • Finally, once this phase is finished, the block will switch back to the Inactive phase
• Previously, some of these phases had different timing values:
  • Active: 40 game ticks for Sculk Sensors and 20 game ticks for Calibrated Sculk Sensors
  • Cooldown: 1 game tick for both types of Sculk Sensors
• These phase timings were tweaked so that it is less common for activated contraptions to recursively activate the Sculk Sensor that powered them

Vibration Frequencies

In preparation for the Calibrated Sculk Sensor, vibration frequencies have been greatly simplified to prevent unwanted interference. The following are category descriptions for each frequency and the expected events that they correspond to:

1. Movement in any medium (land, water and air)
2. Landing on any surface (land or water)
3. Item interactions
4. Gliding with an elytra or unique mob actions (Ravager roar, Wolf shaking, etc)
5. Dismounting a mob or equipping gear
6. Mounting a mob or interacting with a mob
7. Mobs and players getting damaged
8. Consuming items (drinking and eating)
9. Blocks 'deactivating' (door close, chest close, button unpress, etc)
10. Blocks 'activating' (door open, chest open, button press, etc)
11. Blocks changing (cauldron water level rising, adding food to campfire, etc.)
12. Blocks being destroyed
13. Blocks being placed
14. Mobs and players teleporting or spawning
15. Mobs and players dying or an explosion

Step Sounds

• Walking on a block will now always play a step sound
  • It was previously not the case if you were walking along the edge of a block with air or fluid besides it
• Walking on the ocean floor will produce a step sound for the block you are walking on at a lower volume and pitch
• When walking on Carpets, Snow, Nether Sprouts, Warped Roots, and Crimson Roots, a combination of step sounds will be played
  • The top-most block you are walking on is played as normal
  • The block underneath is played at a lower volume and pitch

Advancements

• Breeding Camels and Sniffers now count for "The Parrots and the Bats" and are now required for "Two by Two"
• Hanging Signs now count for "Glow and Behold"
• Visiting a Cherry Grove is now required for "Adventuring Time"

Technical Changes

• The data pack version is now 15, accounting for sign data format, item display orientation and advancement changes
• Removed update_1_20 feature flag and built-in datapack - features are no longer experimental
• Added a return command
• Tweaked display entity interpolation
• Added a capped rule structure processor that limits the number of replaced blocks for a structure piece to a configured maximum
• Configuring block entity fields in a rule processor rule is now delegated to a referenced block_entity_modifier instead of the previously fixed output_nbt configuration
• Random sequences for loot tables are now deterministic
• Added a reference loot table function
• Loot table condition/predicate changes:
  • Renamed alternative to any_of
  • Added all_of
• Advancement trigger changes:
  • Added recipe_crafted
  • Changed format of placed_block, item_used_on_block and allay_drop_item_on_block triggers
• Ingredients in array form are now also allowed in smithing_trim and smithing_transform recipes on fields template, base and addition
  • Those fields also allow empty arrays, which signalize that slot needs to be left empty
• Added new damage types: outside_border and generic_kill
• Game events have changed vibration frequency and some have been removed
• The resource pack version is now 15, accounting for the font and credits update
  • Updated the sprite layout of minecraft.png
  • Removed the overriding minecraft.png from the Programmer Art resource pack
  • Updated the sprite layout of invite_icon.png
  • legacy_unicode glyph provider has been removed
  • Bitmaps used by uniform font have been removed
  • uniform font has been updated to use Unifont 15.0.06
  • That changes shape of multiple characters, while also adding support for new ones
  • Combining characters no longer include circle overlayed over them (so M◌̆ now renders as M ̆)
  • Added second level of organization of entries in credits.json on top of titles, called disciplines
• Font textures are included in debug texture dump (F3 + S)
• Added new font glyph providers: unihex and reference, removed legacy_unicode
• Added support for Quick Play

• Updates to telemetry
• Changed encoding of server.properties to UTF-8
• Added validation for symbolic links in world saves

Light Engine

The light engine is responsible for calculating the brightness of each block in the world. Light is calculated during world generation as well as updated when a block is changed in the world. Behavior of the light engine has not been changed.

• The performance of calculating light has been improved
  • Reduces one source of lag spikes when crossing chunk borders
  • Improves FPS in situations when a lot of light updates occur
  • Improves how quickly chunks can be generated

Commands

return

The return command can be used to control execution flow inside functions and change their return value. Effects:

• Remaining separate top-level commands in the currently executing function (if any) are skipped
• The result value of the function command that triggered the function is changed from the number of commands executed to value
• The result value of the return command is also value

Syntax:
return
Parameters:

• value: An integer return value

data

• string data sources now accept negative boundaries, which are interpreted as index counted from the end of the string

Display Entity

Interpolation Changes

• Previous values are always discarded if interpolation_duration is 0
• Made sure that render properties are applied at the same time (so block_state is applied at the same time as transformation, i.e. at the next tick after receiving an update)
• Display entities are not rendered until their initial data is received. That means display entities might not be shown on the first tick.
• Note: due to how the game handles updates, changes to entities made after summoning might be delivered to clients within a later tick

Rendering Changes

• item_display items have been rotated 180 degrees around the Y axis to better match the transformation that is applied when rendering items on an Armor Stand head and in Item Frames
  • For reference, the order of transformations applied to model (starting from innermost) is item_transform, rotate Y 180, transformation field, entity orientation (billboard option + Rotation field + Pos field)

Structure post-processors

Capped post-processor

• A capped post-processor has been added which can limit how many blocks a delegated post-processor randomly transform in a structure
• This can be used to configure a structure piece to have an exact amount of specific blocks, instead of using random distribution
• The capped post-processor has following required parameters:
  • delegate A post-processor which performs the actual block transformation
  • limit Maximum amount of blocks that the delegated post-processor can transform
  • The blocks inside a structure are all randomly passed to the delegated post-processor until it has transformed the limited amount
  • Either constant or random number generator sampled during post-processing

Rule post-processor block entity configuration

• Previously a rule could specify an optional fixed output_nbt which would be added to the processed output block entity
• This field has now been changed to reference a block_entity_modifier
• Existing block_entity_modifier's are:
  • passthrough Retains existing fields on the block entity
  • This is the default if no block_entity_modifier is specified
  • append_static Similar to previous output_nbt this provides fixed fields to add to the block entity
  • A minor change is that this modifier appends configured fields to the processed block instead of replacing existing fields
  • clear Removes any existing fields on the block entity
  • append_loot Appends a loot table and seed to the block entity through required parameter:
  • loot_table Referenced loot table to add to block entity as LootTable field
  • Field LootTableSeed is also added to the block entity using random seeded by block position

Loot Tables

Random Sequences

The game now uses named random sequences to deterministically produce loot for loot tables. Each random sequence produces a unique sequence based on the world seed and sequence ID, which means a loot table will produce the same results when ran with the same parameters in the same world.
The ID of the random sequence to use for a loot table is specified in a new optional field called random_sequence. If no sequence name is given, loot is drawn using a non-deterministic random source.

reference

New function reference allows functions to call sub-functions (similar to reference condition).
Fields: - name - location of function to call

any_of/all_of

• Loot condition alternative has been renamed to any_of
• Added new loot condition all_of that passes only when all sub-conditions pass
  • Has the same syntax as any_of

Advancements

New Triggers

recipe_crafted

• Triggered when crafting a recipe
• Conditions:
  • recipe_id - the resource location of the recipe crafted
  • ingredients - an array of predicates for the item stacks used in the recipe
  • A single item stack can only be used to fulfill one predicate
  • Each predicate needs to be fulfilled to trigger the advancement. This allows for separation between recipes that have same identifier but use different ingredients.
  • This field is optional. When not provided, or left empty, only the recipe_id will dictate the success of the trigger

Changed Triggers

• All fields in placed_block, item_used_on_block and allay_drop_item_on_block have been collapsed into a single location field
• The new location is similar to the player field - it is a list of loot conditions/predicates
• All conditions in this list must match for a trigger to run
• Conditions are evaluated in a new loot context called advancement_location. It has access to:
  • Player as this entity
  • Position of the placed block
  • Block state of the placed/interacted block
  • Held/used item as "tool"
• Migration guide:
  • Contents of old location field should be migrated to location_check condition
  • Contents of item field should be migrated to match_tool condition
  • Contents of block + state fields should be migrated to block_state_property condition

Example (from make_a_sign_glow advancement):
Before: { "conditions": { "item": { "items": [ "minecraft:glow_ink_sac" ] }, "location": { "block": { "tag": "minecraft:all_signs" } } }, "trigger": "minecraft:item_used_on_block" } After: { "conditions": { "location": [ { "condition": "minecraft:match_tool", "predicate": { "items": [ "minecraft:glow_ink_sac" ] } }, { "condition": "minecraft:location_check", "predicate": { "block": { "tag": "minecraft:all_signs" } } } ] }, "trigger": "minecraft:item_used_on_block" }

Damage Types

• Players outside the world border are now hurt by the damage type outside_border instead of in_wall
• Forcibly removing an entity using the /kill command now uses damage type generic_kill instead of out_of_world

Fonts

New unihex Glyph Provider

• New glyph provider for reading Unifont HEX files
  • HEX format describes font glyphs using a bitmap
  • The height of every glyph is 16 pixels
  • The width of glyph can be 8, 16, 24 or 32 pixels
  • Every line is made of two hexadecimal numbers separated by :
  • The first value describes a codepoint - it must have 4, 5 or 6 hex digits
  • The second value describes the glyph as a stream of bits, line by line
• When rendering, empty columns on left and right side of glyphs are removed
  • Custom glyph widths can be set with size_overrides
• This provider requires two fields:
  • hex_file - path to ZIP archive containing one or more *.hex files (files in archive with different extensions are ignored)
  • size_overrides - list of codepoint ranges that should have width different from auto-detected (based on empty space in glyph). Fields:
  • from, to - start and end of codepoint range (inclusive)
  • left, right - integers describing the position of the left-most and right-most columns of the glyph in range
    • Any bits in columns outside of this range will be discarded

New reference Glyph Provider

• New glyph provider that can be used to include providers from other fonts
  • Providers are guaranteed to be loaded only once, no matter how many times they are included
• Provider has one field id, that describes another font to be included in the currently loaded one
  • Inclusion is performed after all fonts are loaded, so it will include all providers for a given font defined in all datapacks

Removed legacy_unicode Glyph Provider

• The legacy_unicode glyph provider has been removed
• This functionality has been replaced by the unihex provider

Quick Play

• Added support for four new command line arguments that allow the game to be launched directly into a world
• quickPlayPath takes a specified path for logging (relative to the run directory)
  • If a path is provided the following will be logged upon joining a world:
  • type: is either singleplayer, multiplayer, or realms
  • identifier: represents the world you want to join
    • For singleplayer, the folder name of the world
    • For multiplayer, the IP address of the server
    • For realms, the Realms ID
  • port: represents the server port and is only logged for multiplayer
  • name: The name of the world
  • gamemode: The gamemode of the world
  • lastPlayedTime: The time you joined the world
  • Example:
  • --quickPlayPath "quickPlay/log.json" will resolve into .minecraft/quickPlay/log.json
• quickPlaySingleplayer, quickPlayMultiplayer and quickPlayRealms all take their respective identifier
  • If one of these arguments is provided, the game will try to launch directly into the given world
  • Examples:
  • --quickPlaySingleplayer "New World"
  • --quickPlayMultiplayer "localhost:25565"
  • --quickPlayRealms "1234"

Telemetry

All Events

• Added new property: launcher_name
  • This is set based on the minecraft.launcher.brand system property
  • This will help us troubleshoot game launch related bugs more effectively, as we will be able to see whether the issue originated in the Minecraft launcher or a third-party program

Updated Required Events

• world_loaded
  • Added new property: realms_map_content
  • When loading into a Realms Map Content world (Minigame), the world_loaded event will receive the name of that map
  • This is to help us understand how Java Realms players interact with Java Realms adventure or minimap content

New Optional Events

• advancement_made
  • This event is triggered when a player completes an advancement, and allows us to see the advancement ID and the time when the advancement was completed
  • This helps us as a studio understand player progress and limits, which informs our game design
• game_load_times
  • This event is triggered when the game client is loaded
  • Includes the time it took for the client to load
  • This is so that we can work on improving and reducing the time it takes to load the game client

Symbolic Link Validation

To improve safety, the game will now detect symbolic links used inside world directory. For a detailed explanation, check our help article.

• If the target of a symbolic link is not on the user-configured allow-list, the game will not proceed with loading the world
  • Note: the world directory itself can still be linked
• The list of allowed symbolic link targets is stored in file allowed_symlinks.txt in the client or server top directory
• The file consists of entries (one per line) with following formats allowed:
  • Lines starting with # are comments and are ignored
  • [type]pattern, where type can be glob, regex or prefix
  • prefix matches start of path with given pattern (so for /test paths /test, /test/ and /test/foo.txt would match)
  • regex matches regular expression against whole path
  • glob uses OS-specific path matching mechanism (for example *.txt would usually match files with txt extension)
  • Note: paths will use OS-specific separators
  • pattern, which uses default prefix type

Welcome to…
SRorgs: Dominica!
Crowded amongst towering trees, and away from the settlements of the Caribbean islands lies the Dominican Valley of Desolation. The youngest island in the Caribbean Lesser Antilles, Dominica is a beautiful island that will play host to the newest crop of SRorgs hopefuls.
Hidden away in the south is the remote Valley of Desolation, accessible only by foot. It is here that a completely new group of castaways will face off to see if they have what it takes to survive this harsh terrain as well as each other. Who will fall victim to the Valley and who will rise to claim the title of Sole Survivor?
And there’s more!

Survivor Reddit ORGs (SRorgs) is Discord’s longest-running ORG, and we’re casting for our newest season. We’ve been around since late 2016 and were one of the first ORGs to adopt the Discord format with our third season, SRorgs: Iceland.
Since then, we’ve had 50 seasons and over 500 players, traveling across the world for seasons with real-world locations, original twists, amazing casts, and fair, attentive hosting. SRorgs aims to create a high-quality and fair ORG experience that is respectful of your time and real life obligations. We use consistent, fair deadlines, never use “how bad do you want it”-style challenges, and strive to put a positive, relaxed, and fun experience over everything else.
We have over 5 years of experience, and have seasons for everyone, with anything from well-designed, fair original season-long twists to fun casting twists to back-to-basics seasons that dive deep into the lore of the season’s location.

'Faze'.
At the, "Dere-Licht," Manor, upon the Steps of the Stairs, a Smoked Pipe was placed. In the very Centre of the Meeting Hall (the Room off to the Side from the Bottom of the Stairwell), there was another one, as well. Okay well, throughout the entire building... More like, a GREAT number!
Avem had them placed all throughout that Rebuilt Old Character House, and within that Glorified Mansion, there were Smoked Pipes, In and On Cupboards, Resting Upon Windowsills (with the Drapes Pulled or Left Open), upon Countertops, Hidden Inside of Bookshelves (if not Resting Upon them), of course on the Mantle, Hidden In and Around Corners.. at Every End, Above and Slightly Adjacent to Entrances, and even some, which were included upon the Tabletops...
All of these Smoking Pipes, some with Ashen Remainders in them, some only Constructed Models of, what we imagine, would have been kept for their Interest Sake, were watched by a Careful Set-Up, of Video Surveillance.
The Surveillance, Signaled Hanging Display Monitors, all throughout the House, and also at Avem's Lab in Tokyo. Some of these Monitors, were Hanging from the Ceiling, at the Walls, Facing Down and Into the Rooms. Others, in the Bedrooms, were Level with Sitting Chairs, where one might want to Sit Down and Look At Them.
They were Set Up, Primarily, To Catch Every Angle and Motion of Light or Shadow Upon or Within the Pipes. This Recording of Smoked Rememberances, took place Every Night and Day, from the Rising to the Setting of the Sun, all Throughout the Years. What were the Ashes for?
…
Granny Smith, he yelled. I'm telling you! She didn't believe him one bit. And you pretend you weren't looking for me!?...
She interrogated him fearsomely. Do you know who I am???
Do you know who I am, "Roared," Perry, back at her, bleakly. He was terrified. Though, he somehow managed to pull off a tone, which mirrored her own, with mock mavery.
Down the hall, there was a beep. Close the door, Swarma commanded, looking out through the interrogation Room's Exit. There was the sound of a, "fwoosh," and a, "click," outside of it. Nobody had been at the Exit, either to push or to pull it's heavy door, closed. There was also no telling, of where that other door might be. She took a swab and daubed Perry with it quickly, before leaving. Wait right here, she cackled, smiling a leerily-wisening old grin, as she left him to total.
What's doing this to you? shrieked Ren. June had actually been, in all fact, sobbing and in dread. Her body, becoming purple, as it was, "cast," with some thick layer of unknown chrysoform, which continued to cover her in variegating patches, no matter how much she scratched or peeled. It seemed to keep leaking out from her pores in beads, which coalesced over her skin, recombined, and matted. Heaving, she threw a chunk at the Vending Machine.
She was sitting in Emergency, having just made it through Triage. These are for you, said the Faithful and Believing, Catholic Lady Friend of Wells, who passed her some Pamphlets from the Lecture.
The Professor had stopped everything, to see to it that this kind Lady, would bring Juniper to ER, post-haste. June had brought Ren along as a Study Buddy, for Note-Taking, with a Bribe.
Initially, June went out to the Mountains, to collect Perry's belongings from the Rented Cabin. Upon arriving back in town, both she and Ren decided to Drive out to the College for a Lecture, and to Sight-See, while asking people around the Area if they had Seen or Heard from Perry. Could he be haunting her somewhere? Was there any hope?
Although... the Professor HAD, abruptly interrupted his Lecture to find one of his CPR-trained staff to escort Juniper to the nearby Hospital E.R., in the event that she might not make it there herself, and was, "Truly," facing a Medical Crisis.
The Vending Machine, went lame, and the lights in ER flickered for a moment. I'm getting creeped, said Ren. That's all!
June's problem stemmed back, from when she ate the Oatmeal, which Perry had left behind at the Cabin, while she was inside it, looking at a Newspaper and Doodling.
Some of Avem's Team, had been in the Trails previously, and Driven a Snowmobile through them, tracing Chemicals through the Snow. A or Spoken Split. It had been at just one of her Lab's Testing Zones.
Avem had caught onto Perry, first, when her Voice Exploded from a Crackling Ice Wyrm/ “i”’Sāqa-Šaqqa, in the Cabin's Fireplace.
Avem had been Writing her Vocals into the Chemical Strains of the Ice-Wyrm Constituency Potion, which she concocted in her Lab, and Spread Rumours about, then Codifying it with Automatic Cyber-Sentience Response-Forms, which took initiatives, based on Environmental Factors, and in turn, fed back Information. This Data, was made readable by her Reverse Tonic, which Tabulated it, by Codices, which had Variables in her own Mental Inter-Framing. Cog-Notes, if you will, to her own Cognition. All of, these, Variables, which entered her Consideration, let her Pry, both on Known, and Unknown, Territories. She frequently Drank her Cyber-Tonic from a Vial in her Lab, while going over Her Work.
Perry Wheeled, and Stumbled around the Room, trying to avoid the Icicle Firecrackers, which were Sounding Off whenever he Slid and/or Stepped upon them. He'd apparently been Mega-Dosed, and was now about to Learn what in the World of a Mega-Dosed, Felt Like when Under and In It.
The Wyrms were Sounding Off, in an Acoustics Array, and Perry, Bounded and Rebounded Turning Listless as the Chrysalids Exited him, and Becoming Reinterred into Motion Again, by their Sounds. He was now, well... Not Feeling Like a Perry. That and he was Done, Done, and, "Roared," out. He could No Longer even Find his Own Vocal to Bless How He Felt. Avem came back in, when the Turnabout was Over. She had Observed Perry by a Camera Hidden in the Room, which was Hooked up to her Monitors for Surveillance, as well. Turning on a Ventilation Fan, from outside, which led the Room's Air into a Separate Chamber, she had Two People, Dressed in Dark Robes, walk in, and move Perry back to his Chair, now Limp. They Swept Up, the Remaining Crystalline Deciduates, and Drains Opened, which Took the Little Bit of Liquidine Debris, Out of the Room. Perry, was now Toned.
Swarma, Placed her Hand on his Forehead, at First to Take his Temperature, and then, Mentally Calibrating his Vocal Remembrance within Herself, Uttered a Word to him, While he sat Slumped over the Chair, Catatonic. The Word.
And Therein, may be a Key... His Subconscious Mind, would most certainly Remember. She Had Uttered It, in His Very Own Vocal Tone. Why? It Rendered him Cognizant and Triggered His Mentality, as though His Own... Though, Truly?... Her Own.
Perry was allowed, with the other Time Wraiths as escort, to slowly move around the Manor and familiarize himself with it. He was being taught by them, how to remain very still for long periods of time. Many of the Time Wraiths, were flown out to the Lab down in Tokyo, to use the computers on their Night-Watch Network. The Lab there, housed her prized Hua Niu ("Black Diamond") Apple, Bonsai, kept under specialized lighting, plus numerous other artefacts. It was set up like somewhat of a Museum, with one dimly lit, humming room for computer observancy, which apart from Monitor glare, left much to the realm of the keen observer.
The 34, often formed a Large Pentagram, with two people at each of the five elemental points, two people between each elemental point encompassing, two people between each elemental point intersecting, two people in the very centre, and two people encircling round about. Underneath them, was stone masonwork in black basalt, and a large star outline, traced with gold inlay.
A chandelier hung above them, and the room had an overview of the gated entrance, where birds were often seen in trees, and light could pour in, but at night, the glass of these windows turned sheet-black to buffet them in, high enough up that none might peep.
By no commotion of ceremony, the participants would stand and hear the NicNeven recite her Canon address. The fruits her Science had yielded, sounded in the Hall, and into their collective memory, which disbanded when they did, after she read from her book.
The book, made from gene paper, was their Canon, and this... only a meeting hall. Despite its congressional form, summons were not of sell out to World Teachings. She ranked as their Science-elected, matriarch, of mental-modernity, by the facet of old typings and tyings, to, "new," teachings.
Ruminations from the fruits of her labwork, thereat would be discussed. For if nobody would have them, they most certainly would. Then, and only then, would the lines be codographed (some of the Night-Watch, were also very good hackers). They were secretly culted-over, but by few, and their practicum bore method, not mere devotion. The team were, "Nec-Will'O’Mancer"-affiliate.

What did you have me on? Some sort of Cerelium Slick? El, in Perry, broke out bawling. Something so licentious that I can’t tell I’m licked. HaHa.
His stupor adored him with affection, and he had a hammering affectation from it. It caused him to clout his knowing, though only briefly.
Perry came through, yamming… I’m looking back on days of Candy Cloaker Gobstoppers! You mean you literally had me erased… or, where am I?
You Hide no Burger, in Finding Fries, Perald. Daytime is where I have you.
At that, there had been an unconventional or out-of-the-norm convening, where not-an-one of all the attendants had-in, to agree, "We are Necropolitan"... Though, their greed to know, would grow.
Perry led himself back in, looking for his girlfriend, strangely feeling sold out of his nut.
…
Ironically, it was just at that point that Juniper had made it there. She too was undergoing her thought detexturing, “rinse,” that is, the opposite of any detox, after looking like a Raisin May's, “In.”
This was to be the, “Turnabout (a new Ceremony was declared by Avem’s Host in Relative-Caster Company, and held somewhat like a House Party).”
A $9,000.00 Maitland Smith Dollhouse Bar Cabinet, was off in isolated room of the newly Renovated Manor, with a load of Porcelain Dolls and cameras to watch it.
That room was off limits.
Juniper had had it in her know long afore, in dream. Now to hack Avem… oh, where?
…
"Osa," circuit of my air... How can, "I," enfold you? Swarma asked, with a vestitude, which only, behooved to surmise her, with surreptitious guiltiness of paridyllic refrain.
She, “The NicNeven,” winked meaningfully, holding an extremely rare pipe up, skyward.
The Time Wraiths all sat, in their, “F”arm-Ended Theatre apart from the once-Ballroom.
Quieting down, it was in their circle that a cast occurred, but in truth they were no relative summoners and Avem’s Mafia had elected them afresh.
That is… that as they were all a, somewhat afraid and eerily sketched out, “Fresh Crop,” yet and though, she would in fact, have them richly afforded, in Good Time.
…
Avem’s Mafia had sent the former Nec-Will’O’Mancers over to her Manor for the Renovations.
Avem, then, was Crowned, “Accorded,” and the Newly Selected Time Wraiths, could be Trained.
Avem’s Clue In, in her new Role, while in her old Manor seemed to live in it’s espies.
I mean, they must have had her drugged for the whole house to be enchanted, somehow, but the only question is who set it up, and when?
One of her clues, came from a former Nec-Will’O’Mancer silently shadow-encoaching a novice approved in the group, by his far larger boding of path had, in-the-off. She heard the man in her head as well, ruling that Smith had to explore her ties in the Mafia, through rank, a second time, and thus a later, termed-submission as a right of accession, had been officed.
She, once again (the man went over in his mind) being indoctrinated into Mafia rank, though slowly, because her freedom-release methods, were her own merital device, and she needed a longer time to work at them.
Avem, had canned herself intentionally, to stay at a head, but nobody fully knew, how it was done.
Reptilian Mind Control.

How could that be?
Look to the Wind, and we shall ride. ~ "Phantom Riding The Whip," where one is not standing on top of a vehicle, but rather, riding over a different type of, "Whip," as a, "Phantom-Circuit." ~
"Now we admonish," they recited.
"Peace be," stated the NicNeven. She inhaled from the lit pipe.
They all, “doned,” her infuriatingness, with amicability.
Now yes, your highest love, and what’s our gift they forecried, awaiting something.
Not of in an any Dib of forgery… You will undoubtedly see. She canned.
Please don’t mess us or master us mental, Avem, one girl joked, admitting the kind dark lair WAS weird.
That's Missus, Avem relegated ghasting.
…
Now, I have here the document they stole it from, a man entering the room said. He read aloud,
The remains of a, "chicote"/"cigar butt"/"cigarette butt."
The Nec-Will'O'Mancers, then stated in unison, reading off of the pamphlets they'd previously been handed out, though in a less clear-and-determined tone, or well (it seemed), in a way that hummed and wandered.
"... Far l'fo, Ho glow. How we sway. How does a hard tar, Lie her thieu, In a chi, icy high..."?
When they were finished reciting, the man continued speaking.
By, "sukunai," "少ない," the man continued in Japanese… a word, which means, "few or little," with the root word, "少し ("すこし," "sukoshi").""
Avem exhaled. "The synonym for, which is, "chotto," she said. So yes... in other words? "A little." "ちょっと ("chotto")," may I add, it has a root word in the adverb, "chito..." "... "ちと ("chito")," as in, "slightly," "a little," "a bit," or, "somewhat," where, "ち ("chi," means, “small”)," and, "と ("to," is an adverbial particle). "と ("to")," is also a noun, which is short for, "と金 (tokin)," which will now indicate a promoted, "歩兵 ("fuhyō," or, "pawn”)," that, "moves," like a, "金将 ("kinshō," or, “gold general”).""
Thus, what might have been inferred, perhaps, was that a, "Chicote," in a pipe, was, more or less, alike unto a, "Chi Chót," if it did indeed implicate such.
A, "Chót," of course, meaning something at the, "Bottom," "Lowest Extremity," or, "End," of something, and from there, or at that point, perhaps even then moving forward.
Chicote, apart from being a form of Tobacco, was also, in all truth, a form of, "Whip," known for being a Scourge, in places like the Congo.
The NicNeven, had already caught wise to this, and also how, this form of Tobacco, may have had it's own "Xicohtli (a Nahuatl word, for, "Bumblebee")."
I guess, what needed to be said most (as a nod to the Indigenous People), was that they were good to hold a Peace over the Herb, and also Bow...
Some people may have needed a Peace Blessed over them, knowing the Nature of how all Words exist with ties to Power.
…
This time, however, she was not merely dreaming with the pipe. She aimed to begin work on something more pivotal. Holding her peace, over them, as though the Time Wraiths had not, in fact, been led by her to keep a different mindset, themselves, she kept them aware, of the part of her mind they were let in by.
A part, they would not be able to share. When inhaling, she did so with a strickening wind, through sympathetic diacords and resonance fields, and from a region locked onto by the Time Wraiths collective awareness. The NicNeven (we presume, remaining silent somewhere at the top of an, "imaginary," but quite irregal, circuit of Heaven, and with her pipe), had her whole lot hidden safely away, and blessed unseen.
She, "wind-let," her chosen remote area, with the pipe, from a distance, as though it were a whip and a scourge, creating yet another (this time stronger), bane.
Her smoke summons, were such that, she hoped to collect and open them, one day, as a portal, to dawn on the World.
As for the pipe vision. This one was well formed. She might have make a centrepiece of it, on table somewhere.
Many of them, rested on glass plates, with glass cases overtop. After their Surveillance Circuit had run, "Ash-Line Data," or, "Pipe Particle Intel," was fed through a Computer on the Ash-Configuracy, Analysis-Observancy Program, of the, 'Night-Watch Circuit', of the, "Time Wraiths"-Network, and for a Number of Reasons...
One, being that the Data, would often be used to reproduce these, "In-Pipe Visions," as, "Viable Product-for-Sale ("Furnishings from the, "Furnace,"" so-to-speak)," and so they needed a Good Record of Analysis kept for Reproduction. "Pipe Reproductions," would be made using more Durable Materials, and Non-Smokable Materials. The Data, would also allow the group to Configure Predictions of Ash-Shift, with a Matrix, once Measurements and Variables were Plugged into an appropriate Coded Program Logarithm, which helped them see, potential Shift Patterns, which may yet arise. The Furnishings, were to be kept as Permanent Pipes... Artefacts, for the Mansion, and Museum, of Swarma.
'Necrolith Spectre'. ~ The NicNeven's, "Necrolith Spectre," had a very real premise. She, had drawn Chi through her Summon of Feiz, by a Fix. ~

Andrew wrote obscurely,
My thought is that the Jinwen Bian, Bronze Inscription, of, "Fá (in the Mandarin Language)," ties itself over to, "Fät (in the "Volapük," Language)," and thus relates to, "Fate," and, "Karma."
"Fat (in the Cantonese Language)," means, "Buddha," and is related to, "Fá (in Mandarin)," while, "Fät (in the Voläpuk Language)," is characteristic of, "Buddhist Philosophy."
Does anyone else see the Structure of the Modern, "Wheel," in the Mandarin, "Fá?" - A.W.T. (November 18th, 2020).

‘A, “Marrow Vin Gean”’.
The Holy Spirit Sword cuts through to the Marrow. This is intended to mean that it is versatile. Only, more to the point, that it is not intended for vice.
How this happens, is that it has verses, in tandem occurrence, operating in relevant reflection, on Scripture, and is designed to heal. That is… before having thought of attack or rendering anyone ineffectual.
Wisdom from Jesus, in Scripture, teaches us, that, without Doctrinal relevance, and Revelation, we live on a Dying Planet and cause it.
~ Falling out of our mouths, if I may add. ~ The tongue is a venomous instrument, which apart from destroying, needs to be bridled with Scriptural Truth and or the Gospel, or healing falls away from what we know of vital spirit, sowing, growing, engrafting, and planning.
However picking up on any dead line of “Prayer Chain (for things truly are, by introspection, a righteously bidden, divine godly judgement's in of how to live by a planetary Monodeism and not just by correspondence, but mainly faith in Him),” to help, Christianly, defeat the death of the soul. [Angelic parameters, of what’s barred, of course had in, or it’s out a’barren]
Marrow is where the Blood Cells are created before reaching the Circulatory System.
This is in the bone.
Luz is the Catholic-Bidden Vertebrae/Spinal Column Bone for Resurrection.
As Jesus commands one to Live or the Tree not to grow for being of ill time, Our lines have a prayer solvency to that line of fess, by the Vin, or vine, and gean or Spirit.
However, Merovingeans are babylonian Dragon order. We needed it bidden less graven.

• Remember the Holy Ghost is of the Burning Bush, with Moses, in Exodus, in The Holy Bible (and not only there).

A Spirit Sword (Of The LORD), bids first how to save. One, “should,” not desire to dare another into fire, as God graces the time by his hand.
Made of Heaven, wise, the sword knows the hairs on the heads of the utilizers and counting unequal, may perform.
That is, off for bolder lead, and even balded for baring, out of the Worker’s Parable of God’s Constance and Unequal Nature, bearers of it's Fire, may see, and do oft’ find some in their know, of the Church Hold on Word.
Obvious?
This is the Rate Of Pay, in the Vineyard Parable, of the Workers who worked (un-in Mammon), for their Lord (Christ), earlier, and then some other, later (ie. When, in Truth, found bidden in and by Him, a fair constant is maintained, no matter World Climate, in the Fellowship), for and not toward, the forever, for they may not be bidden.

'On What Could Have Been'.

The brown paper parcel, with white sticker, opened to a smaller purple gift box, within it. The gift box was about the size of an order of chow mein, and from within the lilac tissue paper inside, was a golden doll. Andrei, Fu, and Evelyn, had driven back and were now seated around Mr. Dizzmith.
Well, here it is, he stated. No word of who it's from, not to mention that I'm not working anymore.
Is it another antique asked Andrei?
Yes, and well, I think it is, replied the Senior, but the thing is, I don't know how to open it. It's a Matryoshka or Russian Nesting Doll, and this one is rather expensive, but the Middle Circumference of the Doll has a Twistable-Dial Lock, and I've never known that to be the case before.
Would you wager all the others inside it are like that, too? asked Evelyn. I know what Matryoshkas are, but you're right. This one DOES seem a little bedeviled.
Perhaps said Ralph.
Do you think there is anything inside, asked Fu.
It looks a little weighty. Is it a bomb? Asked Evelyn.
Nobody would bomb a man like Mr. Dizzmith, said Andrei, but just to be on the safe side, I'll look it up. Andrei pulled out his Smart Phone.
Most bombs don't have Passcodes, said Fu. Look, the Passcode is right here on the box.
It says the code can be adjusted and is made to be matrilineal.
This is most definitely a finely-crafted specimen then, but how does it work? asked Ralph.
Well, it looks like every Doll has two turnable dials at the vertical middle, which run horizontal and around the circumference. These are adjusted from within, when open, and numerically set with dates for a passcode, before the top and bottom on each doll are latched, that is. Each doll is secured, around and over the former one, which has been latched or fastened, and each, in so doing, has its dials consecutively scrambled from the outside, before putting the next doll on it. The dolls are hollow, and increase in scale, to fit, while the locks operate by Birth Years of mothers, or rather, daughters. If one Mother or Grandmother, leaves a Sum, in her Will, to the, 'Matryoshka Fund', it will Increase in Interest, and if they send an Heirloom in With the Money, once the Company is Informed of the Birth of the Final Child, they will send the Doll to the Final Child, Heirloom within It. The Family History, and Records are Sent too, as the Locks are Set with Birth Years, of Mothers, in Chronological Order or First to Last, and this Prevents the Wrong Families from Accessing the Contents.
If No Contents, are Sent by the Ancestral Will-Bearer, Gifts-in-Shop, may also be Included, upon Initial Order Selection.
The Company/Fund, occasionally Touches Base with the Families, but this is Less Common.
Who is it for? asked Evelyn.
I have no idea, but there's some Weird Vial in it!
What could it be of, though?
Well, Matryoshka's are generally not compartments, made use of, for containing things, but this appears to be a Vial of Oil.
"Oyle," is a rare name for the Saviour, "Jesus Christ," remarked Andrei.
"Oyle ("Middle English," Language)": # 2.4. https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/oyle Maybe an Heiress, then? said Ralph. WHO could she have been?!

I have some big news about the future of The Brotherhood of Old. I'm mostly writing this as a commitment to myself so that I actually do it, and also as a rallying call to those who may be interested in helping out. Feel free to read along as I think aloud. This will be a long read, so buckle up.
I have decided to cancel development of version 1.2 and shift my focus to developing version 2.0. This will obviously push any updates outside of 2023.
What is version 2.0?
As stated in the previous announcement for version 1.2:

My main objective is to completely remake and restructure the final few quests, mainly "The Cults of Darkness" and "The True Brotherhood" as these are the most complicated and complex quests in the mod and often have issues running properly.

That will no longer be the main focus. What I aim to accomplish with version 2.0 is something I've been wanting to do for many years but have not had the time to do until recently... So now you're probably saying "Come on man, get to the point!" So, without further ado:
Version 2.0 at its core, will be a complete rework of the entire mod. While not rebuilt from the ground up, sweeping and extensive changes will be made. Making all of this happen will be no small feat, so I would like to take this opportunity to open things up to the community. I would like for this mod to turn into something made by a team. It would be great to have a team with diverse skills and ideas all contributing to it, rather than everything coming from the vortex that is my head. I am looking for talent in writing, level design, quest development, Papyrus, and 3D modelling. If you are interested in signing up, please fill out this form.
Here are some of the main things you can hope to expect:
A rewrite/revision + extension of the main story.
More focus will be spent on player choice and freedom, rather than a story involving you basically babysitting the chosen one. While Vala Amatius will still be a key part of the narrative, it will no longer be strictly centered around her. Additionally, this will no longer be a story that assumes you played through or remember the events that happened in Oblivion, but it will reward those of you that have/do.
It will dive into exploring the history of the Dark Brotherhood and how it got to the point where it is presently in the original Skyrim story. You, the player, will have first-hand experience figuring out what exactly happened, how to prevent it from ever happening again, and how you plan on rebuilding the Brotherhood. Will you recruit new assassins first? Will you have new Sanctuaries opened? Will you restore the Black Hand, or operate on your own? Will you drive it all into the ground? The choice will be yours. You as the Listener will take a more active and hands-on role in how everything plays out. The story will no longer force you in any one direction, and you will have choice and agency at every turn. The decisions you make will play a pivotal role in how the story plays out and subsequently ends. While the Night Mother will still offer you suggestions on what to do and where to go, the final decision will always rest in your hands.
There will be a handful of interesting and fleshed out characters for you to choose from when recruiting. You will have freedom to choose among the characters you like, and will no longer be forced into selecting the ones that the mod chooses for you.
Each character introduced, which will include existing ones like J’Zakar, M’Jirra, Undil, Azuk and of course, Vala, will all have “loyalty missions” similar to how it’s done in Mass Effect. For those of you who don’t know what that means… Essentially, you will have the option to talk to each of these characters about their backstories, which will lead to you going on a little personal adventure with them if you so choose. By the end of these loyalty quests, you will be able to take each of them as a follower and companion who will also be marriageable if you want that.
Who are we up against?
The Crimson Scars, who are the primary antagonist of this story, are an ancient splinter group of the Dark Brotherhood made up entirely of vampires. They believe that Sithis has ordered them to extinguish all non-vampires from the Dark Brotherhood and will stop at nothing to see this become a reality. In the original mod, they only show up near the tail end, and are basically shoe-horned in without much explanation. This will be changed in a big way. You will now encounter them much earlier on and they will be an active threat you experience throughout. Rumor has it that you may be able to join them, but that’s just hearsay. Subsequently, the Morag Tong will no longer be a part of this story and will be removed from it entirely unless there is a good reason for them to be involved.
New Sanctuary and location overhauls:
All of the new locations added by the mod will receive complete overhauls and will look far better than they do currently.
New items, weapons, and armors:
In addition to the bonus rewards you receive from quests, there will be new unique weapons and armors that any self-respecting Listener would enjoy.
So that’s basically it. It’s a very lofty and ambitious goal, but it is one I am committed to bringing to life. Again, if you are interested in helping me make this happen, please sign up by filling out this form.
Thanks for reading, Tom Tesoro

Bloons TD 6 v37.0 - Update Notes!
Rolling out now on iOS, Android, Steam please restart your storefront or be patient if it does not appear for you, these updates can take some time to be rolled out to every region due to how the storefronts are set up.
Key New Features

• New Paragon - The Magus Perfectus! (loves casting spells) Some of you know we teased this last year, but we needed more time to balance the art and design required to make this extra special, so we are very pleased to get this live! Wizard Monkey’s Paragon is designed to be a higher level strategic Paragon with powerful ability usage similar to the Doomship.
  
  • The core of the Magus is a toggle to and from a Draining Beam which deals very small single target damage but absorbs graveyard mana as it damages and destroys Bloons
  • While toggled off from the Drain Beam, Magus attacks with a powerful Arcane Spike that deals massive damage to MOABs and revives Bloons it slays, while a Dark Phoenix circles overhead attacking with Firebomb breath and a radial fireball attack
  • Phoenix Explosion Ability: can be cast to consume the Paragon’s entire graveyard to set all Bloons on screen on fire for 30 seconds and summon one Zombie ZOMG for every 9000 graveyard mana consumed
  • Arcane Metamorphosis Ability: can be used to consume all graveyard mana and transform the Magus briefly into an alternate form which decimates everything with a flame cascade attack; Metamorphosis lasts longer the more mana it consumes
  • Magus was designed for armchair play so it will fill and consume graveyard mana on its own, but our goal was to create more actively controlled Paragon for those who will enjoy microing between Beam on and off and choosing which awesome Ability to unleash and when

New Awesome

• Happy Birthday BTD6 - On June 14th, BTD6 will celebrate 5 years of monkeytastic fun and strategy! We hope you’ll join us for the main menu changes, skinned Collection event, special Questing, and general celebration. Thank you for five amazing years and we’re looking forward to all the years ahead!
• New Hero Skin - Jiangshi Sauda, a fun new cross-cultural look for Sauda brainstormed by the art team, mixing inspirations from a favorite show and Chinese folklore
• New Map - Erosion
  
  • Community designed advanced map Erosion
  • TheWiseTroll’s original concept proposed land and water but when thinking about map colors and the little stories we think of behind each map, the concept of the polar bear walking back with the shrinking ice was too compelling to do anything else
• New Quests
  
  • Birthday Party - Pop the Party Bloon as many times as you can before it escapes
  • Blade Sauda Nowhere - Try out Sauda and learn some of her skills
  • Patch’s Cheap Chimps Challenge - Beat Logs with as little cash spent as you can
  • Striken Bad - Defeat the BAD on round 100 using First Strike. The spelling hurts us, too, you’re not the only one - but we had to do it!
• Least Cash and Least Tier Boss Events
  
  • We’ve heard feedback about and have been wanting to shake up Boss rules, so here we go!
  • Applying new victory conditions to Boss Events completely changes the focus while still needing the damage output and type to handle each Boss
  • Time still matters, as the secondary time score will break any ties
• New Trophy Store Items
  
  • Heroes: Geraldo Pack Mule pet, Quincy Spec Ops Drop In placement
  • Monkeys: Sweden Village Flag

  • Frames: Bloon From The Dead frame, Mage Hat frame
• New Slider
  
  • Everybody loves sliders, right?
  • After lots of discussion on the team and a fair few player requests, we’ve added a ‘Projectile and Effects Scaling’ accessibility option to main menu Settings
  • This is primarily for accessibility to minimize the size and brightness of projectiles and effects, especially when the screen is crowded with Monkeys and Bloons
  • This is not directly a performance improvement feature, so please do not expect the game to run noticeably better - just noticeably cleaner
  • We tried not to remove key game state indicators but this is ultimately in player control - if you adjust the slider and effects and projectiles make it harder to play the game, please reset the slider until the game is working the way you want
  • It’s also really fun for silly screengrabs, so please post your favorites!

Balance Changes
Boomerang Monkey
This part has to be included along with the Lych Soul rework with Paragons which is finally making it in this update after necessary delays. As Boomerang Paragon’s knockback hits so many times so quickly, we need to make it more reasonable when applied to targets that aren’t immediately destroyed.

• Boomerang Paragon knockback amount reduced 3 > 1

Bomb Shooter
MOAB Assassin fills a useful role of a pure long cooldown ‘single target assassination’ in the game, but when compared to something like First Strike it feels a little lacking that it is unable to carry damage through MOAB Layers

• x4x MOAB Assassin ability passes through MOAB layers
• x4x MOAB Assassin ability explosion centers around the impact target

Tack Shooter
Blade Shooter has always struggled to find much value without MK or as a step to Maelstrom, so to give it build value on its own we feel like this should be a part of the base value on the upgrade.

• x3x Blade Shooter pierce increased from 6 > 8

Ice Monkey
Lowest tiers of ice monkey are far too effective for their cost against ceramics, with this scaling well all the way to round 100, we feel like ice duration against ceramics needs to be reduced to counter this but for now this reduction will only apply until T3.

• 000 Ice Monkey freeze duration reduced by 50% on ceramics
• All T3 Ice Monkeys increase freeze duration on ceramics from 50 > 100%
• 203 Icicles crosspath now gains camo prio

Glue Gunner
The Bloon Solver’s rework has been very popular, however, we’d like to have a better lead up into the new mechanics by introducing this earlier at the tier 4 now.

• 4xx Bloon Dissolver now creates puddles on track leading up to Bloon Solver, puddles deal 1 damage, all other stats and crosspath benefits are the same.

Sniper Monkey
This will allow Cripple MOAB to take out regular MOAB layers in one shot until round 100; for such a slow attacking single target tower we feel this will help top path flex, even if mostly for show.

• 5xx Cripple MOAB damage increased from 80 > 280

Monkey Buccaneer
Reworking Grape Shot crosspathing as it gains far too much crosspath value by T2 but then is lacking in purpose at higher tiers, double shot will only work as one extra grape however Destroyer will now apply its full attack rate buff to the grapes and Flagship will equip aspects of Grape Shot on the mini planes.

• 210 Grape Shot total projectiles reduced from 10 -> 6
• 310 Destroyer also reduced from 10 > 6 grapes
• 310 Destroyer now increases grape attack rate twice as much, matching increase to the regular attack
• 410 Aircraft Carrier planes radial attack now fires an arc of grapes instead of darts
• 410 Aircraft Carrier planes radial Emission Angle 360 > 90
• 410 Aircraft Carrier planes radial projectile count 8 > 6
• 410 Aircraft Carrier plane grape projectile speed 100 > 200
• 420 Aircraft Carrier planes radial projectile art: dart > hot grape
• 420 Aircraft Carrier planes radial damage type Sharp > Fire
• 400 Aircraft Carrier plane radials damage 1 > 2
• 4xx Aircraft Carrier missiles now follow tower target priority

Monkey Ace
Spectre is shifting a little of the ceramic bonus around into basic all damage at the cost of reduced pierce, which should make up for lack of single target damage while also making the pierce crosspath more necessary when being used for cleanup focus.

• xx4 Spectre Dart damage increased 3 > 4
• xx4 Spectre Dart ceramic bonus reduced 2 > 1
• xx4 Spectre Dart pierce reduced 15 > 10
• xx4 Spectre Bomb damage increased 2 > 3
• xx4 Spectre Bomb ceramic bonus reduced 4 > 3
• xx4 Spectre Bomb pierce reduced 30 > 20

Heli Pilot
Even with the map-range advantage, rotors are weak compared to any other constant AoE circle like this. Chinook feels like it’s near a place we are happy with now, however we want another tiny nudge on cost while keeping cash generation value the same. Pushing some higher values on the last Comanche Commander changes as the missile attack is effectively such a small portion of the tower’s total damage late game.

• 302 Razor Rotors will now benefit from the faster firing crosspath
• 3xx Razor Rotors cooldown rate 0.75 > 0.5
• x4x Support Chinook price reduced from $10500 > 9500
• x4x Support Chinook supply crate cash generated reduced $1650 > 1,550
• x4x Support Chinook max uses per round reduced from 3 > 2
• xx4 & xx5 Comanche mini's follow the target priority set on their main Heli
• xx5 Comanche Commander missile damage 7 > 15
• xx5 Comanche Commander missile moab bonus 5 > 8
• xx5 Comanche Commander mini's missile dmg 5 > 15
• xx5 Comanche Commander mini's missile moab bonus 5 > 8

Mortar Monkey
As the Rapid Reload crosspath has actually fallen behind in value compared to Burny Stuff for top path Mortars we want to try a slight stun duration increase as this buffs the base path with a larger benefit to Rapid Reload mortars as a stalling option. Mortar consistency is lacking at x3x making it tough to spend on even though x4x is fairly good, so some of the T4 rate is shifting down to help out with this. As the camo property has grown quite weak and currently Signal Flare is considered the best decamo tool, we want to push back slightly on its cost and by reducing the blast radius of the decamo area while emphasizing crosspathing for effectiveness there.

• 4xx The Big One stun duration non-MOABs increased from 0.5s > 0.75
• 5xx The Biggest One stun duration MOAB increased from 0.3s > 0.5
• 5xx The Biggest One stun duration BFB increased from 0.2s > 0.3
• 5xx The Biggest One stun duration DDT increased from 0.2s > 0.3
• x3x Heavy Shells attack delay reduced from 1.08 > 0.81
• x4x Artillery Battery attack rate buff reduced from ¼ to ⅓ (remains the same rate: 0.27)
• xx3 Signal flare cost increased $700 > 800
• xx4 Shattering Shells price reduced from $11,000 > 10900
• xx3 Signal Flare decamo radius reduced from 50 > 43
• 103 Signal Flare decamo pierce increased by 5 > 10
• xx4 Shattering Shells burn DoT deals moab bonus +5

Super Monkey
As Engineer sentries do this already, newly spawned Mini Avatars from temples will now by default match the target priority of the temple.

• 4xx Sun Temple's Magic Sacrifice mini Sun Avatars when placed will spawn with the same target prio as their parent tower

Ninja Monkey
We’re changing the Ninja Monkey Paragon’s focus as a fighter against camo, as we feel like a greater strength and tactical value against camo will be the full reveal of all camos rather than all camo removal.

• Ascended Shadow now grants global camo detection for all your towers
• Ascended Shadow no longer strips camo from Bloons with every attack
• Ascended Shadow main attack gains bonus to camo +6
• Ascended Shadow Flash Bomb Explosion gains bonus to camo +20
• Ascended Shadow Flash Bomb Shurikens gains bonus to camo +16
• Ascended Shadow Sticky Bomb Projectile gains bonus to camo +3200
• Ascended Shadow Sticky Bomb Explosion gains bonus to camo +700
• Ascended Shadow now deals 25% damage to all non-Boss MOABs that spawn

Alchemist
Alchemist Transforming Tonic is in a weird spot with the transformation unable to attack through walls when the base alchemist is able to. Also with this, including a QoL fix for the T5 that currently prevents transformed towers from functioning with target priority.

• x4x Transforming Tonic transformed alchemist can now ignore line of sight
• x5x Total Transformation towers transformed by the x5x will keep their Target Priority

Druid
While the tornado doesn't do anything to MOABs, it still spends itself on them which wastes a relatively long cooldown, so addressing this flaw. Avatar of wrath doubles the base attack speed before any scaling is applied, but this hasn’t ever applied to the 205 Lightning, so taking care of that as well. Housekeeping - even deep in the forest, it does actually make life better.

• 3xx Druid of the Storm’s Tornado no longer targets MOAB-class Bloons
• x3x Druid of the Jungle no longer pops Lead Bloons without 130 crosspath
• x3x Jungle Vine follows target prio of tower instead of strong
• x3x Jungle Vine defaults tower to strong priority when purchased
• 205 Avatar of Wrath base Heart of Thunder attack rate increased 2.3s > 1.15

Spike Factory
We’ve heard the feedback, so Spiked Mines get a tweak to get more mines exploding but with less pierce on each, to overall increase quality of life in more frequent use but less wasted pierce. This will help out with some of the problems it has scaling into late game super ceramics.

• 4xx Spiked Mines pierce increased from 12 > 20
• 4xx Spiked Mines explosion pierce reduced from 40 > 30
• 4xx Spiked Mines DoT damage increased from 1 > 10
• 5xx Super Mines explosion pierce remains at 60
• 5xx Super Mines DoT damage increased from 1000 > 2500

Monkey Village
A minor QoL for cheap Monkeyopolis creation, we included a small base amount of cash production to the generation formula.

• xx5 Monkeyopolis income formula now includes a base +$2500 minimum

Engineer
The 005 crosspath fix in the last update left XXXL Trap slower than previously even if crosspathed to 205, so we are increasing that base 005 slightly to match up the 205 crosspath again so that it isn’t any slower than before.

• xx5 XXXL Trap attack cooldown reduced from 5.8s > 4.6

Beast Handler
As our newest tower to be added to BTD6, we went over feedback for every path and made a large number of adjustments addressing a variety of points.

• 3xx Great White thrash rate benefits from speed buffs
• 3xx Great White damage increased 4 > 8
• 3xx Great White max extra damage from merge increased 8 > 16
• 3xx Great White max attack rate buff from merge increased 0.20634 > 0.38
• 3xx Great White extra thrash knockback duration from merge increased 0.1 > 0.2
• 4xx Orca thrash damage increased 20 > 30
• 4xx Orca thrash max extra damage from merge increased 40 > 60
• 4xx Orca max attack rate buff from merge increased 0.37829 > 0.38
• 4xx Orca thrash radius increased 20 > 24
• 5xx Megalodon price reduced from 55,000 > 45,000
• 5xx Megalodon thrash radius increased 30 > 36
• 5xx & x5x Beast handler paths are now overclockable
• x4x and x5x Max Merge Bonus: Overkill damage on MOABs now distributes to the children of that target
• xx1 Gyrfalcon path deals +1 damage to Regrows to stop accidental infinite regrow farms
• xx3 Golden Eagle pierce increased 12 > 15
• xx3 Golden Eagle pierce range increased 24 > 30
• xx3 Golden Eagle ceramic pierce penalty reduced from +3 > 1
• xx3 Golden Eagle Max Merge Bonus: Now grabs MOABs with pierce penalty +14

Gwendolin
Removing the stacking aspect of Gwendolin’s burn damage over time, but increasing the damage as she levels up so that it actually scales up in power now.

• Lv6 Gwendonlin main attack DoT stack count 0 > 1
• Lv6 Gwendonlin main attack DoT damage increased from 1 > 2
• Lv9 Gwendonlin main attack DoT damage increased from 1 > 4
• Lv10 Gwendonlin main attack DoT damage now increases by 1 per additional level

Adora
While they are complicated individuals, Adora can now fully appreciate the sacrifice of the newest Monkeys in the struggle against the Bloons.

• Lv7 Blood Sacrifice can now be used on Beast Handlers

Admiral Brickell
We aren’t happy with strats that start looking like exploits with frequent sell-replace loops.

• Upon Selling Brickell - all of her placed Mines are now expired along with her as well

Psi
Psi’s stalling out of the end of round is an odd mix of useful / annoying / out of control, so we are for now capping this to a 3 seconds of overtime stalling. Psi’s Psychic Blast ability also has weirdly low pierce for a long cooldown ability with no damage, we are increasing the base pierce greatly but it no longer increases in pierce at Lv7 since the extra pulse brings more pierce anyway.

• If no Bloons are left unpopped on screen aside from ones Psi is currently holding & destroying, these Bloons will be destroyed after a maximum of 3 seconds
• Lv3 Psychic Blast pierce increased from 50 > 200
• Lv7 Psychic Blast pierce increased from 100 > 200

Event / Boss / Relic / Knowledge

• All Lych Soul variations can now be stunned/slowed by paragon tier upgrades

Looking Forward
Five months of 2023 done and dusted, which feels to us like it has zoomed by, perhaps because the Auckland office where the BTD6 team is based has only just reopened after the severe flooding at the end of January. All of Update 36 and the majority of Update 37 were completed while again working from home, but we’re very excited to have the office repairs done, the flood wall almost finished, and the ability to work shoulder to shoulder again on fun new things for the monkeyverse! Here’s the latest gaze into the crystal ball:

• Update 38 Key Content
  
  • New Boss - Phayze: another all new Boss concept and play style, not giving any other hints apart from the name itself
  • Summer fun: a new Brickell hero skin and a waterpark map aimed toward Intermediate to help keep northern hemisphere summer cool
  • Quests: continuing to build new quest system features and adding a few new Quests to the list
• Update 39 Key Content
  
  • Map Editor: under construction since last year with internal systems testing happening during 38.0 development, we are super excited to put map creation tools in player hands on as many platforms as possible when it goes live
  • New Hero - Spirit Walker: another unique design that we’re sandboxing already to make sure it has as much balance and art iteration as possible, again no hints other than the name
• Update 40 Key Content
  
  • New Paragon - Monkey Sub: we’ve tagged sub as the next Paragon, so tell the Navarch to stop hoarding all of the Portable Lakes!
  • Stretch Goals - Boss Rush Team Event and CT Themes: lots of unknowns 3 updates out but we have strong plans for a new Team event and new parameters for Contested Territory that will make each CT more dynamic - anything that we don’t get done by end of year will have strong groundwork for next year
• Console
  
  • Getting closer to submission on Xbox and PlayStation but this has been slow going. We’ve added another programmer and are working even more closely with platform partners to get through our last issues and launch as soon as possible, but that’s likely at least another 2 months. Switch is still a consideration depending on response to Xbox and PlayStation, as it will require additional bespoke development.

I just finished Mh Rise and just started with Sunbreak. Towards the end of Rise I started getting this error while trying to join quests from the board, more and more. I thought that since I was in the late game and did not have Sunbreak, the player pool could be low. Now after getting Sunbreak, the problem persists. Is it because now I'm in the early game and the player pool is still low? I play on Xbox and checked the connection a thousand times, everything works. I can play 1 in like 10 mission online now, any help?
